APC Coalition Challenges Toyin Okoro Zacheaus's Candidacy

A coalition of All Progressives Congress (APC) support groups has submitted a petition against Toyin Okoro Zacheaus, the party's candidate for Ekiti South Federal Constituency I. The coalition is calling on the APC national leadership to review Zacheaus's candidacy pending the petition's consideration. During a press conference in Abuja, the coalition’s National Secretary, Chidiebere Osundu, stated that the petition was initially submitted to the APC national leadership and the party’s Ekiti South screening committee in May 2026, followed by a report to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

The petition has also been sent to several authorities, including the Department of State Services, the Inspector-General of Police, the Attorney-General of the Federation, and the Code of Conduct Bureau. The coalition raises concerns regarding Zacheaus's eligibility, public service status, and potential conflicts of interest, seeking clarification before the party finalizes the nomination process.
