Ogun State Accord Party at her office inside Kolanut House, along Lagos/Abeokuta Expressway, Ita-Oshin Abeokuta, Ogun State was agog with funfare on Tuesday 21st of November, 2017, with the throng of people and teeming members in attendance , to witness the party congress event in the state.
The occasion which was graced by many of the party dignitaries, stalwarts and stakeholders among who Dr, Doyin Okupe; the National leader of the party, the Accord Party Ogun State Chairman; Elder Amusat Isiaka, Ekiti Accord Party Gubernatorial Aspirant; Akogun Banji Ojo, the Accord Party Ogun State Publicity Secretary; 'ASOJUOBA' Micheal Adesanya were in attendance, to bear witness to the positive response of the Accord Party admirers, fans and supporters from many states of the Federation, who were present, eulogizing on the great impact and good impression Accord Party had effected on their numerous supporters, cutting across the nooks and corners of the country; seeing Accord Party as the "third-force party of the masses", that would save and bail them out of the present mess the country had found herself, by the misdeeds of the so called politicians, in the previously formed parties, especially PDP and APC.
Here some of the Accord Party supporters and members interviewed adduced some points to buttressed their believe that Accord Party has sprung back to action and vibrancy, in making sure the less-privileged and masses in general were now more enlightened and educated by the Accord Party adhoc committee's machinery, to know better that Accord Party is a party greatly relevant now, out of the parties in existence presently in Nigeria, that is well grounded and masses oriented, to free the less-privileged in the country from poverty and the snare and trap of the oppressors called leaders.
And that the party is now relevantly at an advantage, to prove the worth of her relevance come 2019 general election.
Here Dr. Doyin Okupe;one of the National leaders of the Accord Party from Ogun State reiterated that politics which is by proper arrangement should be an effective means through which the lives of the masses should be improved upon and that this is what Accord Party stands for and that this is what the party is ready to achieve, come 2019, by moving into the position of governance of the country; Nigeria, which would be by the overwhelming support from the entire masses of the country, who had been greatly suffering, from the oppression, suppression of the elites, in the other parties that have been existing thus far in the country.
He further stressed on his argument that the so called leaders have deviated from their expected responsibilities, in being concerned about the welfare of the citizens, which he regretfully bemoaned, to be a big slap on the real essence of democracy.
However, he concluded to say that Accord Party means business, hence the party is still having a wide room to accommodate many of the prospective members, who are already planning to join the party, this he said was allowed in order to have a stronghold and sound footing, for the party and thus make sure many of these new members would be allowed to come in , for much good responsibilities to be apportioned to them, so as to have the feel of the positive sense of belonging, while they would never regret to have taken the decision, to have joined the party eventually, as his membership in the Accord Party is certainly for good and to establish equality of roles, responsibilities and of a resounding membership.
In the statement of the Ogun State Accord Party Chairman; Chief Amusat Isiaka, described the renewal of Accord Party presently as refurbishing the house that truly belongs to the generality of the masses, rather than individual, so since PDP had neglected the people and that APC is not performing; then Accord Party is the 'third force party' to take over the rein of governance come 2019, here he expressed his surprise that within the three and the half months; Accord Party in Ogun State had done well; considering the much success of the two hundred and thirty-six ward exco, twenty local governments exco and the provision of comfortable offices to take off well in Ogun State, for political activities towards 2019 general election.
He therefore denoted Accord Party as the party of welfarism, which has much concern to better the living standard of the masses, yet Accord is a party where there is no manipulation, godfather-ism but one needs to work to eat.
Akogun Banji Ojo; the Accord Party Ekiti State Gubernatorial Candidate in his own view accounted that both PDP and APC that had been having the advantage to rule performed below the expectation, hence Accord Party as a formidable party and that of the masses is ready to liberate the masses from poverty while the Accord Party members are capable to face the challenges from any quarter, to achieve their goals.
He also highlighted on his point that Accord Party as a party with human face, is already proffering solutions and ideas to developing the youth, helping the women, yet the youth are free to contest on the platform of Accord Party, he confidently vouched that Accord Party would change things for better in Ekiti State come 2019 if voted in as the next Governor of the Ekiti State, as almost one thousand hectares of Cocoa plantation is underway to be actualized, which would be as a means of decongesting the labour market for employment sake, on this he defended the reason why going back to farm is essential.
The Ogun State Accord Party Publicity secretary; ASOJUOBA Micheal Adesanya promised that with the present adhoc committee readily making much good moves and preparation, it is certain Accord Party is winning overwhelmingly come 2019.
