Its Chairman, Dele Oladeji, said this in an interview with our reporter on Thursday in Lagos.

He expressed confidence about the party’s chances, saying Accord would win a number of seats in the election.

“Our chances are bright : Accord is a popular party and we will ensure that we produce candidates that will relate well with the people at the grassroots.

“We have areas where we are strong, and we are going to work hard and win in those areas and others,” he said.

The party chairman vowed that the party would defend its votes at the polls.

“We shall make sure the votes are counted and reflect the will of the people in areas we are contesting.

“We shall sensitise the voters on how to vote and stand by their votes until they are counted and declared before leaving the polling booths,” he said.
