Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi, the representative for Osun East, has denied reports that a Supreme Court ruling has terminated his bid for re‑election in 2027. The senator said the claims were speculative and had no basis in the court’s decision.
Fadeyi’s comments come after a recent Supreme Court judgement that some media outlets interpreted as a potential disqualification of his candidacy. In his statement, the senator clarified that the ruling did not affect his eligibility to run for the Senate seat again.
“The allegations are purely speculative and do not reflect the reality of the situation,” Fadeyi said. He urged supporters to focus on his track record and future plans rather than unverified claims.
The senator’s dismissal of the disqualification narrative comes as the 2027 election cycle begins to shape up, with several incumbents and challengers preparing their campaigns. Fadeyi remains a prominent figure in Osun politics and is expected to continue his legislative work if re‑elected.
