APC Defends INEC Amid PDP's Claims on Candidate Exclusion
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State has responded to accusations from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) regarding the exclusion of its governorship candidate, Ladi Adebutu, from the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) final list for the 2027 elections. The PDP claimed that the APC pressured INEC due to concerns about its electoral prospects.
Kayode Odunaro, Chairman of the Media and Publicity Committee of the APC Campaign Council, defended INEC, stating that the commission should be allowed to operate independently. He urged the PDP to stop blaming the APC for its failure to adhere to administrative procedures, noting that other candidates faced similar exclusions.
Odunaro emphasized that the APC and its candidate, Solomon Adeola, are prepared to compete against any candidate cleared by INEC, but campaigning against a non-listed candidate would be futile. He reiterated that the APC is focused on winning based on its performance and adherence to the rules.
