Dairo Speaks on Dominion FM; Oluyole Rep Candidate Dismisses Dispute as “Emotional Brainwashing”
The Oyo State Secretary of the Accord Party, Mr. Dairo, on Saturday said the party’s State Chairman and Secretary jointly signed the Certificate of Return issued to Hon. Kunle Busari following his victory in the party’s governorship primary.
Speaking during a live radio interview on Dominion FM this morning, Mr. Dairo stated that the certificate currently being displayed by Oriyomi “has no signature of the state statutory executives and is null and void.”
“The only valid Certificate of Return for the Accord Party governorship primary was duly signed by myself as State Secretary and by the State Chairman. Any other document outside that process lacks legitimacy,” Dairo said on air.
He maintained that Hon. Kunle Busari emerged as the winner of the primary election and was issued the authentic certificate in line with the party’s guidelines. He urged party members and the public to disregard any contrary claims, warning that presenting unauthorised documents could mislead supporters and breach party regulations.
Dairo noted that Oriyomi Hamzat has a more established public association with the Governor than Hon. Kunle Busari. He added that retired Commissioner of Police Owoseni previously served as an aide to Governor Makinde, and stated that Hon. Kunle Busari does not share the same level of personal relationship with the Governor as the other two.
In a related reaction, the Accord Party’s candidate for Oluyole Federal Constituency, Chief Oyepeju Ademola Ara, described Oriyomi Hamzat as someone who employs “emotional brainwashing.” Speaking during the radio interview, Chief Ara said Oriyomi knows the truth but is using his approach to seek favour, which he insisted would not work. “The party has structures and procedures. We should focus on uniting for the election rather than promoting confusion,” the Oluyole candidate said.
