Kayode Ojo in Fresh Trouble as ADC Fires Warning Shot

...says, “Our Ticket Not for Serial Losers, Perpetual Defectors”

Engr. Kayode Ojo’s fresh bid for the Ekiti governorship under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) may have hit a serious roadblock, and this time, the fire is coming from within the party's state chapter.

Top ADC chieftains in Ekiti have kicked against Ojo’s quiet romance with the party’s national leadership, warning Abuja not to fall for who they described as “a habitual defector, a serial loser, and a politician with no ideological consistency.”

“We know him too well in Ekiti. He’s highly unstable, desperate, and self-centered. He once dragged his former party to court up to the Supreme Court simply because he lost a primary. The national leadership must be careful,” a senior party stakeholder cautioned.

Echoing this sentiment, another top ADC official stated, "Our ticket is not for serial losers and perpetual defectors.

"The party is looking for candidates with impeccable character, whose Omoluabi ethos can rival that of the incumbent Governor. A consistent and loyal person, not fair-weather aspirants like Kayode Ojo."

Ojo’s decision to pitch his tent with the ADC after previously seeking nominations in other parties has raised fresh questions about his political credibility and stability.

Critics say his moves reflect a lack of ideological depth and a pattern of putting personal ambition above party principles.

To make matters worse, it was learned that Prince Akin Olayisade, a key supporter of Kayode Ojo, reportedly withdrew his backing about three days ago. According to sources, this decision followed his realization that Kayode Ojo's claimed support and capabilities might be overstated.

The backlash has triggered heavy speculation about Ojo’s standing within the party. Will he be able to convince ADC leaders that he’s genuinely committed to the cause, or will his past come back to haunt him?

Still, Ojo remains upbeat. In a statement, he said, “I’m confident my ambition will prevail. I’ve been working tirelessly to convince ADC leaders and members that I’m the best candidate for the job.”

With the ADC primaries fast approaching, uncertainty looms over his fate. Can he turn the tide in his favour, or will the ghosts of his past affiliations and courtroom battles return to shut the door on his ambition?

As his camp continues to rally support, urging the national leadership to give him a chance, the mood from the top seems unmoved, leaving Ojo’s future in ADC hanging by a thread.
