Accord Party Warns Members To Shun Gatherings Without INEC’s Presence

The leadership of the Accord Party has advised members of the party to ensure that they do not participate in any political process without the presence of the Independent National Electoral Commission.

This warning follows to a recent court judgment that affirmed Rev Isaac Adeniyi as the authentic National Chairman of the party.

Speaking in Benin, Edo State capital on Sunday, the National Secretary of the party, Dr Samson Isibor, said the new leadership would soon convene a meeting of all the state chapters of the party to chart a way forward and organise how to have properly constituted leadership and flag bearer ahead of the 2023 elections.

Isibor said, “The Executive Committee will have nothing to do with any Presidential primary which will not be observed by INEC, anyone who presented himself as Accord presidential candidate is on his own.

“We are grateful to God for giving us the victory at the court. We are the executive that has been saddled with the responsibility of running the party. We have got the justice we prayed for so I appeal to all our members in all the states to be calm and that as soon as a possible we shall call a meeting of all the state chapters including all those that have been there legally and illegally and rejuvenate the party for reckoning.

“We don’t want to be a second-hand party. We were formally in the forefront but because of the way those hijackers operated, we were relegated but now the real exco has bounced back and we have instructed that no bank should deal with them again. INEC has also been informed.”
