Igboho Endorses Osun Accord Party’s Candidate For 2027 Election

Prior to the 2027 election, Yoruba Nation activist Chief Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, announced on Sunday that he supports Pelumi Olajengbesi, the Accord Party’s candidate for the House of Representatives in Osun State.

Olajengbesi is seeking to represent the Oriade/Obokun Federal Constituency in the 2027 election.

When Olajengbesi visited Igboho at his home in Ibadan, Oyo State, the founder of the Irun Ekun Security Network—which operates in several Southwest states—made his stance known.

Igboho went down memory lane and described how Olajengbesi offered him legal representation during the administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, according to a statement released by Olajengbesi’s media office in the state capital.

However, Igboho said, “It’s important to have a change in representation in the constituency. Pelumi is a breath of fresh air.

“It shall be well with you, my lawyer. When things were very tough during the tenure of the then President Muhammadu Buhari and I was locked up in Benin Republic, you stayed with me and gave me your full support till I was released. You didn’t ask me for money.

“Also, when I wanted to do my mother’s burial, and the government threatened to arrest me, Pelumi came to my aid; he intervened and approached the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, and Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, to let me be, insisting I was innocent.

“Pelumi stood by me in a lot of ways, including in the formation of Irun Ekun Security Network, and may God crown all his efforts. I am supporting his ambition for Oriade/Obokun Federal Consituency with everything that I have. You stood by me during my difficult season, and I will rally support for your campaign to emerge victorious in the next election. However, I want to implore you to fulfil your campaign promises to the good people of Oriade-Obokun Federal Constituency.”

Earlier, the Accord Party candidate, Olajengbesi, said, “The constituency requires vibrant youth representation and a departure from what he described as the recycling of old ideas.”

May the best candidate win in all states come 2027, as the nation looks forward to a fair and transparent election. Ultimately, the victory of the most deserving leader will serve the best interests of the people and pave the way for a brighter future for all.
