The national leadership of Accord has written the European Union, EU, appealing for intervention to ensure a transparent and peaceful governorship election in Osun State.
The letter, signed by the national Chairman of Accord, Chief Maxwell Mgbudem, Esq, drew the attention of the EU to what the party described as the increasingly tense and disturbing political situation in Osun State ahead of the poll scheduled for Saturday, 15 August 2026.
The letter read:
The election is of considerable importance to the democratic development of Nigeria, coming at a critical period in the nation’s electoral cycle and constituting the last major off-cycle governorship election before the 2027 General Election. Its credibility and peaceful conduct will have significant implications for public confidence in Nigeria’s democratic institutions and electoral processes.
Against this background, Accord is deeply concerned about reports of political violence, intimidation, arrests, harassment and deployment of State institutions and security agencies
