The All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship aspirant in Ogun State for the 2027 election, Abayomi Hunye, has criticised the party over his suspension from its membership.

Hunye questioned the basis for the action during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday.

The governorship hopeful challenged the party to explain how it could suspend him while also accepting N50 million from him for its governorship nomination form.

He explained that he obtained the required nomination documents, completed the necessary processes and successfully passed the party’s screening exercise.

Hunye said he was listed as number 52 on the screening list and was recognised as an eligible candidate during the governorship primary held on May 21.

The development comes after the APC rejected Hunye’s claim to the party’s Ogun governorship ticket for 2027 and reaffirmed Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, as its recognised candidate.

Reacting to the party’s position, Hunye maintained that the process through which he obtained the nomination form and participated in the screening could not simply be disregarded.

He said, “I bought the N50 million nomination form and was cleared for the screening.

“The first thing they said was that I had been suspended. They said I was suspended on April 7. How can you suspend me on April 7 and, on April 28, collect money from me and give me a form?

“I got the nomination form and the expression of interest form. I filled everything and returned it. I have the receipt. On the screening list, my number is 52.”
