The governorship candidate of the Accord Party in Taraba state, Professor Jerome Nyameh, has called on party supporters across the state to remain calm and steadfast following a recent Federal High Court judgment, insisting that the ruling does not affect the party’s political future or electoral participation.

In a statement addressing concerns within party ranks, Nyameh urged members and supporters not to panic or be discouraged by the court decision, emphasizing that the development is only a part of an ongoing legal process and does not diminish the strength or relevance of the Accord Party.

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

He explained that the ruling remains an initial decision and is subject to further judicial review, noting that the legal system provides additional layers of appeal.

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 not concluded, stressing that the party is confident of pursuing all available legal avenues to ensure justice is achieved.

 He further expressed optimism that the Accord Party remains a viable political platform with strong structures across the country.

The professor also called on supporters to remain law abiding, united, and focused, urging them to continue grassroots mobilisation efforts despite what he described as temporary legal and political distractions.

He noted that the party’s internal strength and growing support base remain intact, adding that preparations for future political activities are ongoing.

Nyameh further referenced prominent figures within the party, including the governor of Osun state, Senator Ademola Adeleke, describing the Accord Party as a platform with credible and influential political actors who strengthen its national relevance.

He reassured supporters that the party’s leadership is committed to sustaining its presence in Nigeria’s democratic space and remains focused on the 2027 general elections.

The statement, as noticed by The Guardian, will no doubt go a long way to calm tensions among party loyalists who had expressed uncertainty following the court ruling, as political parties in Taraba state continue early positioning ahead of future electoral contests.
