APC Disqualifies Kayode Ojo from Ekiti Governorship Primary

APC disqualifies Kayode Ojo from the Ekiti governorship primary, adding to the list of aspirants barred from the race. The party's Deputy National Publicity Secretary confirmed Ojo's disqualification, citing the screening committee's decision.

This move comes after another aspirant, Olajumoke Olawuni, was also dropped from the contest. Ojo, a businessman and political figure in Ekiti, has had past disputes with the APC establishment.

The disqualifications are seen as efforts to avoid factional crises that could impact the party's chances in the upcoming Ekiti State governorship election in July 2026.
