The Accord Party has officially elected Prof. Christopher Imumolen as its presidential candidate.
Prof. Imumolen, according to a statement on Thursday by the party’s National Secretary, Mallam Muktar Abdullah, was elected via a consensus vote, reflecting unified party support across national, regional, and generational lines during the party’s National Presidential Primary Election held in Lagos.
The convention, the statement said, drew passionate delegates from all 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, who gathered to select the party’s standard-bearer.
According to the statement, “His candidacy enjoys immense structural backing, driven significantly by a strong representation from the party’s vibrant younger demographic who view him as the face of modern Nigerian leadership.
“As the youngest presidential candidate to contest in the previous 2023 election cycle, Prof. Imumolen joins the 2027 race with enhanced experience, solidified grassroots structures, and unyielding national appeal.
“He is a high-capacity leader, an accomplished entrepreneur, and a renowned philanthropist possessing the visionary skills required to fix Nigeria’s systemic issues and place the country on the right track toward prosperity.”
Accord reiterates its unwavering “commitment to internal democracy, equity, and transparency.
“We have established robust internal mechanisms to constructively address any friction arising from our primary processes, ensuring a fiercely united front.
“In the coming weeks, Accord will unveil a comprehensive socio-economic roadmap designed to rescue Nigerians from current hardships.”, it stressed.
In his acceptance speech, Prof. Imumolen expressed gratitude to the delegates and pledged to run an issue-based, inclusive national campaign.
Imumolen described his candidacy as the will of the People and a call to service, promising not to fail the country.
In the words of Imumolen, “Today, what we have done here is to have our primaries for the presidential candidate, which has been successfully conducted.
“I have rightfully emerged as the candidate for Accord. The list will now be submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and we await their official publication of the candidates later this September.”, he said.
Imumolen pledged that an Accord-led Federal Government will directly confront the devastating scourge of unemployment, tackle pervasive insecurity, and structurally revamp the economic architecture of the country to lift millions out of poverty.
The Accord party however, called on all well-meaning Nigerians, particularly the youth and professionals, to join hands with the authentic candidate of the party as we build a nation that works for everyone.
