By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Punch
Nigeria’s APC national leadership disowned Abayomi Hunye and confirmed Solomon Adeola as its candidate for the governorship of Ogun State in 2027. The clarification ends an internal dispute over the party’s nomination for the election, according to information from Punch.
The All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling party, has confirmed Solomon Adeola, known as Yayi, as its candidate for governor of Ogun State in the 2027 election. The national leadership and the state chapter rejected Abayomi Hunye’s competing claim, while legal proceedings challenging the party’s primaries are still ongoing, according to a statement signed by APC National Secretary Ajibola Basiru.
The APC described Abayomi Hunye as an impostor and said he had been suspended from the party since 7 April 2026. The suspension followed a petition filed by his local constituency, the party’s national leadership said.
