In what many political observers have described as a resounding victory for truth and transparency, Engr. Kayode Olubunmi Ojo has been successfully screened and cleared by the All Progressives Congress (APC) Screening Committee in Abuja. This comes despite desperate attempts by some political detractors to disqualify him through a frivolous petition.
The committee, after a thorough review, dismissed the petition as lacking substance and merit. It consequently gave a clean bill of health to the respected businessman and frontline governorship aspirant, paving the way for his continued participation in the 2026 governorship race in Ekiti State.
Political analysts say this clearance is not only a significant boost to Engr. Ojo’s campaign but also a reflection of the growing influence and unwavering support he enjoys among APC members and the people of Ekiti. According to them, the development has further unsettled his rivals who see his popularity and grassroots acceptance as a major threat.
Close observers have described the petition as nothing more than a distraction engineered by forces afraid of Engr. Ojo’s rising profile and the strong grassroots movement rallying behind him. They insist that the attempt to derail his ambition has instead strengthened his resolve and endeared him more to the electorate.
With this successful screening, Engr. Kayode Ojo has reaffirmed his readiness to provide purposeful leadership for Ekiti State. His vision, which centers on smart infrastructure, economic prosperity, and people-oriented governance, continues to resonate with citizens eager for meaningful progress and sustainable development.
The EKO Campaign Organization, in its reaction, expressed gratitude to the APC Screening Committee for upholding fairness and transparency, while assuring Ekiti people that Engr. Ojo remains fully committed to the mission of repositioning the state for greatness.
