Yayi threatens legal action over claims he is Ekiti indigene

All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Ogun State, Senator Solomon Adeola, known as Yayi, has threatened legal action against two individuals for alleging he is an indigene of Ekiti State. The claim was made during separate interviews on Channels Television programs by Hon Abayomi Hunye and Ambassador Folake Marcus-Bello.

Yayi's media adviser, Kayode Odunaro, stated that the two individuals made the claims without providing any evidence to support their assertions. The senator described the allegations as false and libellous and demanded that the individuals produce evidence of his state of origin within 24 hours or face lawsuits. The controversy over Yayi's ancestral origin has resurfaced ahead of the 2027 Ogun State governorship election.
