Accord Party Candidate Christopher Imumolen Withdraws, Endorses President Bola Tinubu for 2027 Election

Accord Party presidential candidate Professor Christopher Imumolen announced his withdrawal from Nigeria’s 2027 presidential race and his endorsement of incumbent President Bola Tinubu. The statement, issued in Abuja, said the decision followed extensive consultations with the party’s leadership and was presented as a patriotic sacrifice for national unity, stability and continued development. Imumolen cited Tinubu’s reform agenda—covering economic transformation, education, youth empowerment, entrepreneurship and industrialisation—as closely aligned with his own manifesto, and praised the president’s resilience and strategic leadership in navigating Nigeria’s political and economic challenges.

The move consolidates support for Tinubu’s re‑election bid and reflects the Accord Party’s assessment that continuity of the current administration best serves the country’s long‑term growth.
