In his welcome address, Oladeji told newsmen about the purported expulsion of the BOT Chairman, by the illegal National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Mohamodu Naladi who wanted to remain in office after he has spent14 years.
He described the action of the National Chairman as illegal and unconstitutional.
The issue of the INEC recognition of Hakeem Dickson who had served a prison term of three years in United States of America give credence to the fact that the party could not have endorsed Dickson to represent the party at the 2023 governorship election in Lagos State. According to him, Accord Party is party known for peace, equity, fairness and justice.
He affirmed the candidacy of Pastor Peter Obayuwana as the authentic Governorship candidate in Lagos State.
