Nigerian Group Criticizes Undemocratic Selection of APC Candidate in Ekiti State

The Coalition Civil Society Group condemned the emergence of Biodun Oyebanji as the APC candidate for the 2026 Ekiti State governorship election, labeling the selection process as undemocratic and lacking transparency. The group accused Oyebanji's administration of failing to deliver key sectors like education, healthcare, job creation, and infrastructure.

They criticized the APC leadership in Ekiti State for endorsing what they called a mediocre candidate and warned of the implications on democracy. The group also highlighted the marginalization of aspirants within the party and questioned the credibility of the nomination process.

The group's president, Comrad Oladimeji Olatunji, warned of far-reaching implications for the 2026 general elections.
