Disqualified governorship aspirant under the umbrella of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Hon Abimbola Olajumoke Olawunmi, has accused Governor Abiodun Oyebanji of bribing the party hierarchy and delegates towards nominating him as the consensus candidate of the party for the forthcoming 2026 governorship election. She added that she has evidence to support her claims.
Hon Olawunmi made the allegation while speaking on Arise News Morning Show programme on Wednesday, saying she was disqualified for no just reason after the party erroneously led her and others into purchasing the governorship nomination forms.
She accused the governor of obscurity and not being popular in the party and among the people of Ekiti State, adding that he was afraid of testing his popularity in the party and resorted to ‘bribing’ his way to nomination.
She queried the possibility of someone, who could not subject himself to free and fair internal party democracy, being able to face Ekiti people in the main election involving other political parties, stressing that the APC forced his candidacy on the people.
Olawunmi concluded that she would not support the party and Oyebanji in the coming election if the right things are not done.
