2027: Accord Party will be on ballot – Nyameh assures members 

The governorship candidate of the Accord Party in Taraba State, Professor Jerome Nyameh, has called for calm among party supporters following a Federal High Court judgment, insisting that the ruling has no bearing on the party’s political future or its participation in future elections.
In a statement aimed at addressing growing concerns within party ranks, Nyameh urged members and supporters not to panic or lose confidence in the party, stressing that the court’s decision represents only an early stage in an ongoing legal process.

“Don’t be discouraged by the Federal High Court judgment. ACCORD will be on the ballot in 2027,” he assured.

He explained that the judgment remains an initial ruling and subject to further judicial review, noting that Nigeria’s legal system provides additional layers of appeal, including the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.

According to him, “The Federal High Court is just a trial court. There is the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.”

Nyameh maintained that the matter is far from concluded, expressing confidence that the party would pursue all available legal options to ensure justice is ultimately achieved.

He further reaffirmed that the Accord Party remains a viable political platform with established structures across the country, and continues to enjoy growing support.

The professor also urged supporters to remain law-abiding, united, and focused, encouraging sustained grassroots mobilisation despite what he described as temporary legal and political distractions. He added that preparations for future political engagements are ongoing and that the party’s internal cohesion remains strong.

Nyameh further referenced prominent figures within the party, including the governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, describing the Accord Party as a platform strengthened by credible and influential political actors.

He reassured supporters that the party leadership remains committed to maintaining its presence within Nigeria’s democratic space and is focused on strategic preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
