Mr Ojo’s disqualification came weeks after another aspirant, Olajumoke Olawuni, was dropped from the race.
Reacting to the petition, Deji Ayelabowo, a spokesperson for Mr Ojo, said that the petitioners are jesters and desperate individuals.
The minister said that the changes were with immediate effect.
The protesters said any imposition would amount to flouting the rotation policy in the constituency.
The APC aspirant is one of seven others who alleged that Thursday’s governorship primary was hijacked and called for its cancellation.
