Ogun gov: APC disowns Hunye, insists Yayi is candidate

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has disowned Abayomi Hunye, who claims to be its Ogun governorship candidate for the 2027 election. According to the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, Hunye is an imposter and was suspended from the party on April 7, 2026.

The suspension was due to allegations of engaging in activities injurious to the party's image, anti-party activities, and deliberate actions aimed at causing disaffection and division among loyal members. Basiru stated that Hunye's suspension was ratified by the Ogun State Working Committee and communicated to the national headquarters.

The APC has reaffirmed Solomon Adeola, also known as Yayi, as its Ogun governorship candidate for the 2027 election.
