Read Time:1 Minute, 21 Second

The Forum of Accord Party State Chairmen in the South West has refuted claims that the its National Chairman, Maxwell Mgbudem was suspended, describing the claim as mere misinformation.

In a statement made available to newsmen on Friday, the spokesperson of the forum, Oke Rotimi, noted that the party had earlier passed a vote of confidence on Mgbudem and all National Working Committee of the party.

According to him, ‘the rumour making rounds that our National Chairman, Mr. Maxwell Mgbudem, Esq. has been suspended, is absolutely and totally false.’

“It should be noted that we had a National Executive Committee meeting on 3rd December 2025 wherein a vote of confidence was passed on the National Chairman as well as on the whole National Working Committee. At no stage was there any form of disciplinary action against Mr. Mgbudem, as it had been widely disseminated.

“ACCORD still remains a law-abiding and constitutionally-guided party,” he emphasized. “No person can bring chaos among us via baseless allegations.”

Rotimi added that Prof. Inumolen was formally expelled from the political party due to several instances of anti-party conduct.

His words, “Given such a track record, it is comical that an expelled member still presumes to have authority within the party. All reports issued from his camp should be disregarded, they do not and will not speak for ACCORD.”

However, the State Chairman of ACCORD in Osun, Pastor Victor Akande, added that Governor Ademola Adeleke had formally became a member of ACCORD on 6th November 2025, noting that he received public recognition from the party on 9th December 2025.
