The political landscape ahead of the 2027 presidential election has witnessed another major realignment as Accord Party’s presidential candidate, Professor Christopher Imumolen, steps down from the race and declares support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Imumolen, who announced his withdrawal after consultations with party stakeholders, said his decision was based on what he described as a commitment to national interest, unity, and the continued development of Nigeria.
The Accord Party leader stated that he sees areas of alignment between his vision for the country and some of the policies of the Tinubu administration, particularly in economic reforms, youth development, education, and entrepreneurship.
He urged his supporters and Nigerians who share his vision for a better country to support the new direction, stressing that leadership decisions should be guided by the larger interest of the nation.
The move adds to the growing political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections, as political actors continue to review their strategies and alliances ahead of the contest.
