The Accord Party has formally presented its Certificate of Return to Opeyemi Falegan, confirming him as the party’s candidate for the June 2026 Ekiti State governorship election.
The presentation took place on Tuesday at the Accord Party headquarters in Abuja and was done by the National Chairman, Maxwell Mgbudem. Falegan emerged as the flagbearer following the party’s primary held on November 8, 2025.
Party Expectations and Campaign Focus
National Chairman Mgbudem congratulated Falegan, citing his victory as a testament to his resilience, integrity, and political acumen. Mgbudem expressed optimism about winning the 2026 election.
Mgbudem instructed Falegan to form a grassroots-oriented campaign team, emphasizing adherence to the party’s constitution and manifesto, and to maintain the highest democratic values. He specifically said: “The campaign should maintain the highest democratic values, ethics, and ideals,”.
Falegan’s Promises
Falegan thanked the delegates and outlined his campaign focus, which includes agriculture, education, youth employment, and infrastructure. He promised to empower 48,000 youths over four years and fix major roads in Ekiti within six months.
Criticizing the current administration, Falegan alleged the state is run as a “government of ex-governors, by ex-governors, for ex-governors,”. He pledged to create jobs and entrepreneurs to transform Ekiti’s economy.
