In a recent development, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has distanced itself from a self-proclaimed candidate, Abayomi Hunye, officially declaring Senator Adeola Yayi as the party's confirmed Ogun State gubernatorial candidate for the 2027 elections. The party's National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, denounced Hunye's self-declared candidacy as false, unauthorized, and a malicious attempt to deceive the public.
Hunye, currently suspended from the party since April 7, 2026, is no longer a member of the APC, according to Basiru. The suspension was a result of Hunye's disruptive actions towards the party's image and his efforts to sow discord among loyal supporters. The APC stands firmly behind Senator Yayi and Balogun Kudirat Abiodun as the rightful nominees for the 2027 gubernatorial race.
Any association with Hunye in the context of the APC election would be at the individual's own risk, as per the party's legal team.
