The legal dispute over the 2027 Ogun State governorship race has intensified, with the legal adviser to All Progressives Congress (APC) aspirant Hon. Abayomi Hunye accusing the party's official candidate, Senator Solomon Adeola, of perjury.
The accusation centers on allegations that Senator Adeola, widely known as Yayi, made contradictory declarations regarding his state of origin within sworn electoral documents.
Hunye’s legal team has formally raised these concerns, suggesting that the inconsistencies in the candidate's filings constitute a serious breach of electoral integrity.
This development marks a significant escalation in the internal conflict within the APC over who will represent the party in the upcoming gubernatorial election in Ogun State.
Senator Adeola is currently recognized as the APC's candidate for the 2027 governorship contest, while Hon. Abayomi Hunye remains a prominent aspirant within the party structure.
The claim of perjury, if substantiated, could have substantial legal implications for the validity of Senator Adeola's candidacy and the broader electoral process in the state.
