BREAKING: Ogun APC Guber Ticket In Jeopardy As Petition Seeks Disqualification Of Senator Yayi Over Alleged N10bn Vehicle DDonations

A constitutional petition has been filed before the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) seeking the immediate disqualification of Senator Yayi as the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for Ogun State over alleged violation of the Electoral Act 2026.

The petition, filed by a patriotic concerned citizen and registered voter in Abeokuta, says Yayi and his sponsors tramplesd on tthe electoral llaw

Senator Yayi himself on September 28, 2026, published on his official Facebook page that he had received 119 vehicles — buses, ambulance, pickup and mini-bus from 22 donors for his governorship campaign.

According to the petition, many of the so-called donors are ghosts. They have no real names, no addresses, no identity. Yayi listed them as “Citiside Brother”, “Sanusi Friend”, “Olafem Citi Friend”, “Onaolapo Brother”, “OJ”, “Polanco”, “Efele Ijebu” and “Nafiu Abimbola & Friend”. Who are these people? Where do they live? Are they even Nigerians? Or are they fronts used to launder money into Ogun politics?

The petition claims this as an attempt to conceal the true source of campaign funds and evade the law.

One Man, 26 Buses Worth N728 Million Above Legal Limit

The petition singled out Mr. Akintunde Armstrong, the convener of Yayi Progressives Movement, who alone was credited with donating 26 buses.

Under Section 92( of the Electoral Act 2026, no individual or entity can donate more than N500 million to a candidate.

But at the modest Nigerian-used price of N28 million per Toyota HiAce bus, Armstrong’s 26 buses alone are worth N728 million — far above the N500 million limit. If they are new buses at N90 million each, that is N2.3 billion from one man!

Six other donors were credited with 7 to 10 buses each, including companies like Zacobass Oil & Gas and Stonebridge Engineering Services Ltd.

The petitioner also reminded INEC that in May 2026, this same Yayi Progressives Movement announced N1 billion cash and 27 branded buses for Yayi. If you add that to the 26 buses credited to its convener.

N1bn.7 Billion Buses — Yayi Has Already Surpassed N3bn Limit

The Electoral Act 2026 is very clear. Section 92 fixes the total amount a governorship candidate can spend at N3 billion for the entire election.

But Yayi’s 119 buses alone, at N28 million each, is N3.33 billion. At new price of N90 million each, it is N10.7 billion more than three times the legal limit! And this is before fuel, branding, drivers, rallies, posters, and the alleged N1 billion cash are added.

The petitioner is asking INEC to act now, not after the damage is done:

1. Compel Yayi and APC to produce full legal names, addresses, chassis numbers and invoices of all 22 donors and 119 vehicles.
2. Summon Yayi and Armstrong to explain their billions.
3. Determine the true market value of the vehicles and confirm the breach of the N3bn limit.
4. Force Yayi and APC to file and publish interim campaign finance returns since campaign started on September 9, 2026.
5. Disqualify Senator Adeola as APC governorship candidate if he knowingly violated Section 92, or go to Federal High Court to remove him.

As the petition correctly stated: “This petition is not political. It concerns compliance with the law… A candidate who gains an advantage through a breach of the electoral finance rules should not benefit from it.”

U no fit see Peter Obi for this kind list lie lie.. thank God for a man like Peter many ex governors dey follow his footsteps now

This religion of trouble have taken their madness to covenant University. They always disobey constituted authorities using religious clog as a means.

If a Christian dares wears anything like rosary, cross, or any attire depicting Christianity to access a Muslim environment,this children of hate and perdition will call it blasphemy,and murder the innocent Christian.

But see them ,always taking their foolishness to other religious environment and lord it over everyone.
We know that your religion allows you to wear anything you want, you can even walk naked if you choose to. Islam preaches modesty and that is what we are teaching our children.

CBN shouldn't have bothered to respond to that lie, falsehood and propaganda that emanated from the staples of Tinubu's The Nation Lagos-Ibadan expressway propaganda newspaper


Having lost scandalously in Lagos even with Tinubu on the ballot during the presidential election and with an imminent defeat come this Saturday, they have resorted to spreading lies and falsehood. It is their stock in trade

MonsieurX:
Every sane person knows MURIC is a cheap religious bigot. Wasn't he suspected of receiving money from Boko Haram/ISWAP which was swept under the carpet?

If the DSS investigates that man well, he probably has links with terrorists and terrorist organizations. He is one of those ticking time bombs in Nigeria.

So, the difference in belief didn't stop the girl and her family from collecting the man's money and gifts

When you dey chop the man money you didn't remember he's not of the same belief with you?

This is what Nigerian men go through in the hands of these demons, but , they should always remember, not every man is as gentle and passionate like Nigerian men.

I pray God should forgive her and let her soul rest in peace.

Very strong and erudite Igbo woman!
She says it as it is. Calls out the powerfully evil both when they're alive and when they're dead!
Doesn't pander to all sorts of wired sentiments. Typical traits of her forefathers.
Very very proud of this woman!

DaddyFreeze2020:
Most of Tinubu's supporters are majorly the conk Yorubas with high level of tribal tendencies and hate for the economic successes of the Igbos. They see the Igbos as a threat to them because the Igbos are quite rich, are also well educated and informed.

You cannot easily deceive the Igbos like it would have been if it was 'awon Mallam' as they call the Hausas/Northerners

Sowore is a fool!! Sowore is working for Tinubu.

Inasmuch everyone should be free to support their candidates without physical harassment. Sowore is a fool for saying Obi's campaigners ranked highest in intolerance. Harassing a physically challenged Peter Obi supporter by Tinubu urchins doesn't hurt Sowore.

That's Tinubu's Muslim cousin
