Protest At APC Headquarters Over Exclusion Of Kayode Ojo From Ekiti Primary
Loyalists of Kayode Ojo, a governorship aspirant in the upcoming election in Ekiti State, on Friday besieged the All Progressives Congress National Secretariat in Abuja, protesting the exclusion of Ojo from the upcoming governorship primary.
The APC National Working Committee had, a few weeks ago, disqualified Ojo from participating in the October 27 primary in Ekiti State, effectively clearing the path for the incumbent governor, Biodun Oyebanji, to emerge as the consensus candidate.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission has fixed 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.”
