Ogun APC primary: Ipokia LG disowns Hunye, backs Yayi for 2027 governorship

Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ipokia local government area of Ogun State have publicly disavowed former governorship aspirant Mr. Abayomi Hunye. The party's local executive stated that Hunye's recent political activities and public pronouncements are not representative of the party's official position.

This dissociation signals a clear rift within the local APC chapter regarding its direction and candidate selection for the upcoming 2027 governorship election. By explicitly stating that Hunye's actions do not align with the party's views, the leadership aims to preempt any confusion or misrepresentation of their political agenda.

In a decisive move, the Ipokia APC leadership has declared its backing for "Yayi" in the 2027 governorship race. This endorsement suggests that Yayi is the favored candidate of the local party structure, setting the stage for internal party dynamics and potential primary contests as the election cycle progresses.
