The national headquarters of the All Progressives Congress has reaffirmed Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, as the Ogun State governorship candidate of the party for the 2027 election, dismissing Abayomi Hunye’s contrary claim amid an ongoing court challenge to the party’s primary.
In another statement, the state chapter of the party reaffirmed Yayi as its governorship candidate for the 2027 election.
In a disclaimer signed by its National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, the APC described Hunye as an impostor, adding that he was currently on suspension as a member of the APC.
According to the APC, Hunye was suspended from the party on April 7, 2026, following a petition from his ward, Tube Ward, in Ipokia Local Government Area of the state.
The party said the suspension was a grassroots decision driven by the ward executives, ratified by the Ipokia Local Government Area and formally approved by the Ogun State Working Committee.
