Abayomi Hunye, the Managing Director of Ogun State Waste Management Authority(OGWAMA) and aspirant contesting for the governorship seat under APC in Ogun State, has dismissed insinuations making rounds that leaders of All Progressive Congress(APC) in the state have picked a candidate to contest the top seat in the state in the 2027 elections.

Abayomi spoke yesterday in the state capital, Abeokuta, against the backdrop that the party’s leader has unanimously endorsed a preferred candidate to contest the number one seat in the next election, describing it as a rumour and unfounded, and has no legitimacy without consensus from the party’s leadership.

“I want to use this opportunity to clear the air that nobody has been picked from anywhere, and if anybody is claiming to be such, I think it is a rumour, and I want to stand by that as a rumour.”

“So I am saying is let them consider whatever means that they have to use, not that somebody will just wake up in the morning and start talking to the press and mislead or misinform us that somebody has been picked.”

“Naturally, you can have a consensus amongst us, but the consensus can only be at the level of the party. They look at us and consider different variables and say this is the person we preferred. At least I have contested twice, and this is their time, and I pray God will help me,” he noted.
