Disqualified APC Aspirant Challenges Party in Ekiti Governorship Race

Abimbola Olajumok Olawuni, a disqualified APC aspirant in Ekiti's 2026 governorship race, has dragged the party to court, alleging unfair disqualification and seeking Governor Oyebanji's removal. Olawuni claims the party violated rules and wants the court to cancel the disqualification, stop fresh primaries, and ensure her participation.

The case, filed by lawyer Abayomi Oluwafemi Olawuyi, aims to halt APC's process until resolved by Justice Peter Odo Lifu. The legal battle adds tension to Ekiti's political landscape ahead of the upcoming elections.
