AN intense protest has erupted at the All Progressives Congress(APC) National Secretariat in Abuja on Friday, as party members from Ekiti State voiced fierce outrage over the exclusion of Kayode Ojo from the upcoming governorship primary.
A few weeks ago, the APC National Working Committee barred Ojo from running in the Ekiti State primary on October 27. This effectively paved the way for Biodun Oyebanji, the current governor, to win the consensus.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission had scheduled the Ekiti State governorship election for July 20, 2026.
The protesters, mainly women, chanted slogans such as “Ekiti says No to Governor Biodun Oyebanji,” “No to Consensus,” and “Yes to Kayode Ojo.”
They carried placards with inscriptions including “We Say No to Kayode Ojo’s Disqualification,” “We Don’t Want Consensus,” “Ekiti Women Reject BAO,” “We Reject BAO,” and “APC Must Let Ekiti People Choose Their Candidate.”
