APC Seeks Arrest of Abayomi Hunye Over Impersonation
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has escalated its internal conflict regarding the governorship candidacy in Ogun State by petitioning the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, for the arrest of Mr. Abayomi Hunye. The petition, dated August 24, 2026, accuses Hunye of unlawfully presenting himself as the party's governorship candidate for the upcoming January 2027 election, despite the party affirming Senator Adeola Solomon Olamilekan as its legitimate candidate.
The petition, signed by Ayoola Peter Olajolo, Director of Administration, alleges that Hunye has been misleading the public through various media. Hunye was suspended from the party on April 7, 2026, following a petition from his ward, Tube Ward, Ipokia Local Government Area, which was ratified by the Ogun State Working Committee.
The APC has requested the IGP to question Hunye and take legal action against him for impersonation, emphasizing the need to maintain public peace and electoral integrity.
