In a statement signed by its National Chairman, Barrister Maxwell Mgbuden, the party described the incident as a devastating loss and the “cruel murder” of a promising young man.
The party extended condolences to the bereaved family, praying for strength and comfort in what it described as a difficult period.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, trusting God to console and strengthen them at this trying time,” the statement read.
It added that Kolade Eluyera “has paid the supreme price” in the struggle for a better Osun State, insisting that his death would not be in vain.
Accord called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of those responsible, including alleged sponsors of the attack.
The party also expressed concern over what it described as growing insecurity and alleged attacks on its members, accusing security agencies of failing to prevent violence and destruction of campaign materials across the state.
It alleged that thugs linked to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) were behind attacks on its members and the destruction of billboards belonging to both Accord and the Imole Campaign, urging security agencies to act decisively.
Accord reaffirmed its opposition to violence in politics, stressing that it would resist any attempt to destabilise the state or undermine democratic processes.
The party also criticised what it described as the poor governance of the previous APC administration, while praising Governor Ademola Adeleke as a “servant-leader” whose administration has delivered democratic dividends to the people of Osun State.
It maintained that the people of Osun have continued to support the governor and expressed confidence in his re-election bid, urging citizens to remain committed to democratic participation ahead of the August 15, 2026 governorship election.
Accord further called for issue-based politics, rejecting what it described as violence, intimidation, and vote-buying, while insisting that the electorate must be allowed to freely choose their leaders.
The party concluded by urging voters to protect their mandate and ensure that their votes count in the upcoming election, describing credible polls as essential to strengthening democracy.

COMMANDING PEACE: Inside The APC’s Desperate Strategy To Stop The Candidates’ List Meltdown!.
In response to widespread internal discontent regarding its candidates’ list, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reportedly granted state governors the authority to oversee the distribution and completion of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) nomination forms. While the National Working Committee (NWC) initially sent these forms to State Working Committees, it is anticipated that the forms will primarily be directed to candidates favored by governors and other influential stakeholders.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Party National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka noted that the APC has received over 700 petitions related to the disputed primaries. Morka emphasized that the party’s current focus is ensuring all candidates finish their documentation ahead of the INEC deadline on July 11, noting that the public release of the final candidate list is not the immediate priority.
To address the fallout from the primaries, APC governors held an emergency meeting at the Imo State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja, presided over by Progressive Governors’ Forum Chairman, Senator Hope Uzodinma, with plans to consult the party’s National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda. This move aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s reported commitment to allowing governors significant influence over candidate selection within their respective states.
Several state-level developments have emerged from this process:
-
Gombe: Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya has handed INEC nomination forms to the party’s governorship candidate, Dr. Jamilu Isiyaku Gwamna, as well as National Assembly candidates.
-
Lagos: Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has endorsed his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, as his successor.
-
Nasarawa: Governor Abdullahi Sule has endorsed Senator Ahmed Aliyu-Wadada, a choice that has faced opposition from some party members.
-
Borno: Following reconciliation efforts headed by Vice President Kashim Shettima, Governor Babagana Zulum’s preferred choice, Mustapha Gubio, was established as the consensus candidate.
Additionally, it is noted that eight APC governors are set to conclude their second terms and depart office by May 29, 2027.
The Police Service Commission (PSC) has officially promoted 93 senior police officers following a rigorous process of written examinations and oral interviews held at its Abuja headquarters. The announcement, made by PSC spokesman Torty Kalu on Wednesday, outlined the following advancements approved during the commission’s plenary meeting:....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
