And here underneath we unwind-ed on our interview with him as reported below.
What are the chances of your party in the coming election?
En, we thank God , Accord in Oyo State is a God's project, because we remain steadfast in all our ways, we remain binding with the constitution of our party and we are a party that is out there that knows what the people, the citizens of Oyo State want, so we imbibe our manifesto on the yearning of the citizens of Oyo State and we have been trying to assemble the credible candidates whatsoever, the candidates that has the gut of what the people wanted, because they are the people that are living among the grass-rooters, they know what the people want and we are telling them they have to focus on the manifesto, as the trainees of our constitution, so we have the candidates many people wanted, we have been going around and many people have received our candidates, up and down throughout the seven zones of the Oyo State, they even say they thought we did not exist before and since they are tired of APC and PDP and that they are looking for a credible alternative and what they wanted is Accord Party, because they have seen the party as the party that knows their needs and can reason well concerning their welfare, hence they affirmed to be ready to vote in Accord, so there will be proper change in the development of the state if Accord is voted in, to win this coming election, as the suffering is too much, so the people has fallen in line with our manifesto, it is about seven points agenda, the economy development, the empowerment of our youth and women, the inclusion of the health system, the increase in Internal Generated Revenue, and the provision of the essential infrastructure, to the development of the people at the grassroots and that is what we want to give to the people at the grass-root and that is our manifestos and the mission of Accord in Oyo State, if given a chance we are trying to make Oyo State a pace-setting state indeed.
Is Accord presenting all the candidates for the various elective offices?
We did not present some of the candidates but out of the fifty-two we have about thirty-three candidates that we met the INEC regulation about their coming out for election on the 16th of February and the 2nd of March, 2019.
As part of the stakeholders of the Accord Party has Accord Party align with any other party for the selection of the presidential candidate, since your party has no presidential candidate?
We have not aligned with any party, but Accord especially in the Oyo State especially in South West we will be a major stakeholder, to decide who is going to steer the ship of Nigeria in the next election, we want the best for Nigeria, that is why we say anytime in the nearest future, we will sit down with the people that have the good intention for Nigeria, the people of like- minds, not for selfish interest and we will decide rightly for the best, if we must change; we must be able to see a better candidate for a real change, so as far as I'm concerned as of today; we have not aligned with any political party, but we are not ruling out an alliance, with any political party .
If your party emerged as a victorious party come 2019; what are your plans?
We are going to make a lot of difference, because there's no change , the best government we have seen in Oyo State was in the time of Alhaji Adesina and our former leader Chief Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja and towards the end of his government then the government collapsed, the system changed,therefore we have to re-orientate people , we have to revitalize the elements of governance, so that governance will belong to all crannies and corners of the areas where the people of the state belong, not only politicians but everybody, that is when the Oyo State will have a better taste of governance, we have to liberate our people from this governance of slavery, so Accord Party has been putting all hands on deck, that whenever we took power in Oyo State; there is going to be a reality of change and not ordinary change.
All the time you have been going around for campaign what has been the people's response?
We thank God, people are accepting us day by day, we have been going around some places among the downtrodden and other important places , as we have gone to Aseyin of Iseyin; Oba Abdulganiyy Ajinase Ologunebi, who invited us and received us warmly, we have credible candidates and gubernatorial candidate; a youth that has something up-stair, that the country and her people need, he has been helping other states; like Oshun and other states to develop, he is a consultant on an economic-matter and he has given himself to Oyo State, that he wants to use the part of himself to develop Oyo State, so he has not been of any criminal case in any way, he is well known, he has the giant but private security service in Nigeria.
What makes Accord Party different from other parties?
The good area of difference of Accord Party to other parties is that we want our candidates to study the manifesto and constitution of our party and be ready to accept and abide to implement our manifesto because the party is supreme.

"We are trying to increase on our production of Soya beans so as to meet market's demand"-Chief Adegoke Adedeji Joseph; Chairman Oyo Soya Bean Association
Oyo State Soya Bean Chairman Chief Adegoke Adedeji Joseph has described the state of agricultural practice and mechanized activities in Nigeria as not too encouraging, despite some encouraging assistance from the Federal Government, but stressed that agriculture as a capital intensive occupation has not been favourable for the farmers to practise in Nigeria, as it is supposed to be, especially considering the area of collecting loans from the various banks in Nigeria, this he condemned rightly; seeing the farmers passing through some difficult moments, while trying to supply and fulfill some requirement from the banks, in respect of the collateral and whathaveyou..
This he accounted to be the things debarring the development of agriculture , hence here the government needs to let banks know that they should ease up the requirement , for the farmers to be eligible to obtain some loan facilities, that sometime happen to be for the benefit of the farmers, from the banks and the federal government, as it is being done in some advanced countries.
He now suggested that to improve on mechanized farming; government should import more equipment like tractors, harvesters, thresher etc, but commended that the government is helping to some degree about the acorn-grower, yet presumed that much encouragement is expected from the government as it has promised this year.
However, the Chairman for the commodity group for Soya beans; Chief Adegoke Adedeji Joseph vouched to say that All Farmers Assocciation of Nigeria has stood up to breaking and reducing the bottleneck in the release and distribution of any facility from the government, to make sure it actually reach the real farmers at the grassroots, which he defended that AFAN is really serious about it.
Therefore he advised the government to put up an initiatives and policies to encourage the youth to be fully involved in large scale mechanized farming, in order to help reduce the problem of unemployment in the country
On this he believes there would be much production of food and agricultural produce, aside the fact that the prices of the foodstuffs would come down drastically and naturally, but postulated it is compulsory the government creates an enabling environment, under which the farmers will be able to carry out their various agricultural activities, for their optimum profitability and the good of the nation and her citizenry.
Concerning the area in which he coordinates as the Soya beans Chairman; he pledged that much preparation is going on to make sure his members increase on their production of Soya beans, so as to meet the market demand and thus exemplified that Soya beans; as a durable seeds of multiple value chain is of high demand in the market, because of its richness in protein but clarified that extra importation of the seed is done to complement the home demand, but hopeful that there is auspicious future for more production of it .
Nevertheless he ascertained the fact that there is much prioritizing being done. through the Soya bean commodity group to attract more investors and farmers of Soya beans, while his group is educating and enlightening one another to grow more of the seeds, so as to meet both home demand and likely some exportation later in the future.
He therefore advised everybody to go into farming in whatever little way each and everyone can do it, either at a backyard or on a small piece of land growing coco-yam, bitter leaves, pepper, tomatoes, vegetables and others to supplement whatever it is being bought from the markets, this he denoted as an encouraging way to cultivate the habit of farming
