The Digest:

The All Progressives Congress has barred an aspirant from the race. According to Daily Post Nigeria, Engr Kayode Ojo was disqualified from the party's primary, clearing the path for Governor Abiodun Oyebanji and one other, shortly after Ojo's unsupported arrival at the party secretariat.

Key Points:
  • The APC disqualified Engr. Kayode Ojo from its Ekiti gubernatorial primary.
  • The announcement was made by Deputy National Publicity Secretary Duro Meseko.
  • Governor Abiodun Oyebanji and Omolayo Oluremi were cleared to contest.
  • Ojo had visited the party secretariat but was given no official reception.
  • He was previously accompanied by thousands of supporters across the state.
  • The incident shut down parts of Ado-Ekiti ahead of the primary.
  • The party's primary election is scheduled for October 27.
This disqualification narrows the field, demonstrating the party's internal mechanisms for managing succession and consolidating power ahead of a critical election.
