The Lagos chapter of the Accord Party (AP) has rejected attempts it claims are being made by political mercenaries to hijack its structure, declaring the party is not for sale. In a statement signed by Comrade Moses Jaguars and shared with Blueprint.ng, the party accused certain elements within the PDP of planting agents inside Accord to seize control of its platform and presidential ticket. It cited the activities of Maxwell Mgbudem and Hashim Olawapo, both allegedly linked to the PDP, as evidence of a coordinated infiltration. The party pointed to billboards in Osun State and public appearances linking Governor Ademola Adeleke to President Bola Tinubu as proof of prior political alignment now being denied.
Accord Party Lagos stated that attempts to undermine the leadership of Prof. Chris Imumolen are legally invalid, noting a subsisting court order and INEC's acknowledgment of the matter pending resolution at the Federal High Court. The statement dismissed recent denials as desperate cover-ups for a broader political conspiracy. Financial inducements and backdoor deals, not ideology, are driving these actions, the party alleged. It urged party members and the public to remain vigilant against manipulation.
The Accord Party Lagos accuses PDP agents of infiltration while naming individuals openly operating under its banner, yet fails to explain how such access was granted without internal complicity. If Hashim Olawapo and others are indeed PDP figures running Accord campaign offices, the party's claim of structural integrity collapses under its own allegations. The existence of a court order backing Prof. Chris Imumolen's leadership offers little assurance if rival factions continue to act with impunity. For party members in Lagos, the real threat may not be outsiders alone, but those already within who enable the takeover.
