Speaking in Iseyin on Wednesday at the flag off of campaign and the presentation of flag to the Accord Senatorial candidate for Oyo North Senatorial District, Hon Shina Peller, Hon Nalado said the party is deeply rooted in and across Nigeria and Oyo State in particular.
Hon Nalado declared that Accord as a political party has come to stay and there is the need for Nigerians to embrace and ensure the party takes mantle of governance in the country by voting its candidates at the House of Assembly, House of Representatives, the Senate and the Presidential level.
The Accord National Chairman emphasized that the party is the only party for Nigerian masses, concerning its commitment to the welfare and good being of all and sundry in and across the country.
Presenting the party’s flag to the Oyo North Senatorial candidate of the party, Hon Shina Peller, Hon Nalado said Hon Peller stands as a pride for the party and the entire Oke Ogun Senatorial District .
The Accord National Chairman while expressing his happiness with the large turn out at the campaign flag off called on the people of Oke Ogun and the entire Oyo North Senatorial District to vote for Hon Shina Peller in the February 25 general elections as the next Senator for the Oyo North Senatorial District.
National Secretary of the party , Honourable Adebukola Ajaja tasked the people of Oke Ogun to use their votes to end the marginalisation of the zone, adding, “the only way to end the marginalisation is for the people of the zone to vote for the candidate of the party who is also from the zone’.
“You people said you want Senator in Oyo North to come from Oke Ogun in 2023 and Accord has presented one of your own. It is you that will use your votes to end marginalisation. All the major political parties picked their candidates from Ogbomoso, APC, PDP and even SDP picked their candidates from Ogbomoso and Accord is the only one that picked candidate from Oke Ogun”, she said.
Honourable Peller in his remarks called the people of Oyo North Senatorial District to come out in their large numbers and vote him as the next Senator representing the Senatorial District and that the best way the people of Oke Ogun could compensate Accord for being the only party that picked its Senatorial candidate from Oke Ogun is for them to vote him as the next Senator for the Senatorial District.
The Accord Senatorial candidate said that it will be injustice to have the next Senator for Oyo North Senatorial District coming from outside Oke Ogun area with 10 of the state and that Accord remains the only party that has interest of the people in mind”,
” I believe that this is a new dawn in our Senatorial district. In 2019, I asked for your votes to go for house of representatives and I decided not to seek a second term because I belief in justice and fairness. I am going for Senate because I belief in justice and fairness. Accord is the party that has interest of the people”.
