The Accord Party has dissolved its executive committee in Oyo state with immediate effect.
This is coming following the announcement by the party chairman in the state, Prince Kolade Ojo, that the party has adopted the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Governor Seyi Makinde.
In a letter to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and signed by the National Chairman, Hon Muhammed L. Nalado on Wednesday, the party said that the dissolution was due to anti-party activities and gross misconduct by the members of the executive committee in the state.

Other members are: Hon. Fatai Salawu, Mrs Bimpe Martins and Hon. Ayodele Oyajide.
