Accord Party Senatorial Candidate for Oyo North Senatorial District, Shina Peller, has disclosed that his party supported the re-election of Governor Seyi Makinde in the last general election, for the interest of the people.
Peller disclosed this on Saturday at the Accord stakeholders’ meeting held in Ibadan, where he said the party had to review its performance after the 2023 general election, which saw the need for a coalition with the PDP governorship candidate in the interest of the people.
His words: “We came out of an election without winning any of the three Senatorial seats and 14 Rep seats. We are a third force party, a new party for that matter.
“We compete with APC and PDP, so the only thing we had to do then was to look for the best candidate out of the APC and PDP, and find a way of forming a coalition.
“All the technicalities that have been put in front of our governorship candidate are facts, even our candidate did not win in his polling unit, these are very important facts that we must pay attention to.
He added: “We are happy that we are not blinded by our political party ideology, our religious interest, but putting into consideration the interest of the people
“I believe this is the most paramount interest that should be protected in politics.”
