The lingering leadership crisis rocking the Accord Party in Oyo State took another dramatic turn on Sunday as one of its governorship aspirants, Oriyomi Hamsat, announced the successful submission of his nomination profile on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) candidate nomination portal for the 2027 governorship election.
The development comes against the backdrop of an intense struggle for the party’s governorship ticket, with competing political interests believed to be backing different aspirants, including Agidigbo FM CEO Oriyomi Hamzat and Hon. Kunle Busari (GooduGoodu), whose camps have been locked in a fierce contest for control of the party’s structure.
In a statement titled “The Journey Has Just Begun,” Hamsat described the submission of his governorship profile as another significant milestone in his quest to lead Oyo State, insisting that the exercise marked the beginning rather than the end of his political mission.
“I am pleased to announce that my governorship candidate profile as the Accord Party candidate for the 2027 Oyo State Governorship Election has been successfully submitted on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Candidate Nomination Portal,” he said.
This declaration is expected to further heighten political tension within the party, where rival camps have continued to lay claim to the authentic leadership and governorship ticket ahead of the 2027 election.

The internal wrangling has fuelled uncertainty over who will eventually fly the party’s flag, with observers warning that the crisis could weaken Accord’s chances if not resolved quickly.
Despite the controversy surrounding the party, Hamsat maintained that his ambition was driven by a desire to build a government that prioritizes the welfare of the people and delivers inclusive development across Oyo State.
According to him, the movement is anchored on visionary leadership, accountability, compassion and shared prosperity, adding that every community in the state deserves to enjoy the dividends of good governance.
He expressed appreciation to his supporters, volunteers and stakeholders for standing by him throughout the process, saying their encouragement and prayers had strengthened his resolve.
“The journey is bigger than me. It belongs to every one of you who believes that Oyo State can achieve more through visionary leadership, accountability, compassion and shared prosperity,” Hamsat stated.
He called on well-meaning residents of the state to join what he described as a movement to write a new chapter in Oyo State’s history, expressing confidence that with God’s help and the support of the people, the state would witness a new era of purposeful leadership.
Political analysts believe Hassan’s latest move has added another layer to the unfolding battle for the Accord Party’s governorship ticket, as the leadership crisis and rivalry among major contenders continue to dominate discussions ahead of the 2027 election.
