The All Progressives Congress (APC) has petitioned the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Tunji Disu, demanding an investigation, arrest, and prosecution of Abayomi Hunye, an alleged self-declared governorship candidate in Ogun State. The party claims Hunye's self-declaration is fraudulent and aimed at misleading the public and destabilizing the peace of Ogun State.

The APC's Director of Administration, Ayoola Olajolo, addressed the IGP in a petition dated August 24, urging the police to restrain Hunye from further parading himself as a party candidate to prevent a breakdown of law and order in the state. According to the party, Hunye was suspended from the APC on April 7, 2026, after a written petition from his ward.

The APC maintains that Hunye has no valid claim to the party's governorship candidacy for the 2037 elections, stating that the only recognized candidates are Senator Adeola Olamilekan and his running mate, Balogun Abiodun. The party requests the police to investigate Hunye for impersonation, breach of peace, and violation of the Electoral Act, 2026, and to restrain him from further parading himself as a candidate.
