APC Demands Police Action Against Abayomi Hunye for Impersonation
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has formally petitioned the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Tunji Disu, requesting the investigation, arrest, and prosecution of Mr. Abayomi Hunye for impersonation. The petition, dated August 24 and signed by the Director of Administration, Áyoola Olajolo, claims that Hunye has unlawfully presented himself as the APC's governorship candidate for the January 2027 elections, a claim the party describes as false and fraudulent.
The APC disowned Hunye on Monday, stating that he was validly suspended from the party on April 7, 2026, following a petition from his local ward. The party asserts that the only recognized candidates for the governorship election are Senator Adeola Olamilekan and his running mate, Balogun Abiodun.
The APC urges the police to restrain Hunye from further impersonation to maintain public peace and electoral integrity in Ogun State.
