The newly elected national chairman of Accord Party Mgbuden Maxwell has promised to make the party a formidable force in Nigeria’s political landscape.
He stated this in his inaugural speech following his election as chairman alongside other members of the new National Working Committee (NWC).
The new officers were elected at the party’s national convention held on Sunday, July 28, 2024 and monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He promised that Accord will become a formidable force in the political landscape of the nation in his tenure.
“Together, we will cultivate a party that is not only respected but also admired for its innovative ideas and unwavering commitment to the betterment of our country,” he said.
“I pledge my allegiance to elevate our party to the highest political pedestal, ensuring that Accord is synonymous with progress, innovation, and success.”
