The national chairman of Accord Party, Muhammad Lawal Nalado, said yesterday in Abuja that the purported rejection of the party’s governorship candidate, Jacob Abiodun Aluko, by some persons who claimed to be elders of the party in the state is false and unfounded.
The party, while dismissing the reported alliance between Governor Fayose and Accord Party, said it was solidly backing their candidate in the election, noting that Aluko’s widespread acceptability in the state will give the party victory. The party urged its loyalists in the state to come out en masse and vote for Aluko in the election, assuring that he had the manifesto to address the challenges facing the people of Ekiti.
