Adebayo Adelabu Faces Setback in Oyo Governorship Bid

Adebayo Adelabu, a former Minister of Power, recently resigned from his position, which was interpreted as a clear indication of his intent to pursue the governorship of Oyo State. His resignation occurred within a political elite circle, suggesting a strategic move to stake his claim for the top job in Oyo State.

Despite his significant political pedigree and loyal support within the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adelabu's aspirations were abruptly halted when Sharafadeen Alli won the APC governorship primary. This defeat marks another disappointment in Adelabu's political journey, which has been characterized by considerable investment of personal energy and ambition towards the governorship race.

He is a grandson of the legendary Ibadan political icon Adegoke Adelabu, which adds weight to his political heritage. Despite this setback, close associates believe that this is not the end of Adelabu's political career, as he remains a resilient figure in Oyo State's political landscape.
