This is a new Accord Party under the leadership of our National Chairman, Rev. Isaac Adeniyi.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This time around, it is the determination of the party to put its house in order and get insights on how to strategise ahead of the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to start grassroots mobilisation and sensitisation in all the Southeast states so that we can fully participate in the general election and be ready to win in subsequent elections,&#8221; he said.<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>Chigbo called for unity among party members in the states, saying that unity was all they needed to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking, Mr Innocent Igboekwe, National Deputy Chairman, Accord Party, alledged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), contributed to the leadership crisis of the party.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;INEC wrote the party in 2015, informing her of the tenure expiration of its leadership, following its convention in 2010, but the same INEC continued dealing with the same expired leadership.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This development was the reason we had few candidates vying for one position or another under the platform of the party.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But, we now have another opportunity to make things right.
