Accord Party Dissolves National Working Committee, Elects New Leadership

The Accord Party (AP) has dissolved its National Working Committee (NWC) and elected a new leadership.

Addressing the National Executive Council (NEC) of the party in Abuja on Friday, the party’s immediate past National Chairman, Mohammad Lawal Nalado, who had served the party for over 20 years, announced the decision.

Nalado expressed appreciation to the NEC members and his close allies during his tenure for the opportunity to serve the party.

He acknowledged the support he received from those who worked with him, stating that he never encountered difficulties in fulfilling his duties.

He pledged to continue supporting the party in achieving greater heights. Nalado revealed that he voluntarily decided to step aside and opposed a proposed amendment to the party’s constitution that would have extended his tenure as Chairman.

He urged the next National Chairman to surpass his achievements, emphasizing his readiness to assist the new leadership. Nalado stated, “I’m ageing, I’m no longer a young man, and I believe my thinking is diminishing. You cannot compare the strength of a young man to that of an old man.”

“I wish the party progress in the continued struggle for a democratized Nigeria.

Let us continue to be our brother’s keepers. I have forgiven anyone who offended me. I also beg you to forgive me anyway I’ve offended you,” he added.

The Protem National Chairman, Martins Inyang Ansa, presided over the election of Caretaker Committee members of the party.

The meeting also elected Barr Maxwell Mgbudem, who is also the National Secretary of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), as the National Chairman of the Caretaker Committee, while Dr Adebukola Abiola Ajaja emerged as the National Secretary of the Caretaker Committee.
