Engineer Kayode Ojo, a candidate in Ekiti State, has been barred by the All Progressives Congress (APC) from running in the party’s primary and gubernatorial contests.
This declaration came soon after Kayode Ojo visited the party’s office in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday and was not welcomed.
While speaking to reporters in Abuja on Thursday, APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary Duro Meseko said that Governor Abiodun Oyebanji and Omolayo Oluremi have been given the all-clear to run in the primary.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission has fixed the Ekiti State governorship election for July 20, 2026.
Also recall that Kayode Ojo was accompanied by thousands of supporters across the 16 local government areas of the state and shut down Ado-Ekiti ahead of the party’s primary election scheduled for October 27.
