Hunye's Aide Accuses Adeola of Perjury in Ogun Race
The legal dispute surrounding the 2027 Ogun State governorship race has intensified as Hon. Abayomi Hunye's legal adviser, Olawale Victor, accused Senator Solomon Adeola, known as Yayi, of perjury for allegedly providing contradictory declarations of state of origin in his electoral documents. Victor stated that Hunye is not questioning Adeola's indigeneity but is focused on the validity of the information provided in previous INEC forms.
He highlighted that perjury is a criminal offense in Nigeria, punishable by up to seven years in prison. Hunye's media adviser, Mr. Femi Oyewale, mentioned that Hunye's decision to seek judicial redress followed his alleged suspension from the APC during the May 21 governorship primary, where Adeola was declared the winner.
Hunye claimed he received zero votes in that primary but disputed the announced figures, asserting he has evidence of party loyalists who voted for him.
