The factional presidential candidate and National Chairman of the Accord Party, Christopher Imumolen, has withdrawn from the 2027 presidential race and endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term. Imumolen said Tinubu was well positioned to win the 2027 presidential election, citing the President’s reforms, leadership style and growing support across the country. He stressed that national interest must always take precedence over personal ambition and partisan considerations. The 10th reason, according to him, was the belief that collaboration in the national interest would strengthen democracy and accelerate national development. He maintained that the party’s support for Tinubu was driven by national interest, continuity and the need to sustain development efforts rather than by personal or partisan considerations.
