Adelabu Confirms Tinubu's Approval for Resignation

In a recent statement, Adelabu, a former minister, clarified that he obtained full approval and blessing from President Tinubu prior to his resignation from the cabinet to pursue the governorship of Oyo State under the platform of the Progressive Congress (APC). He addressed speculation surrounding his resignation, emphasizing that it was not against Tinubu's wishes.

Adelabu's statement was issued through his media aide, Femi Awogboro, who reiterated that the claims suggesting he did not consult with Tinubu were baseless. Additionally, it was reported that Wale Edun, the former Minister of Finance, also resigned from his position, but sources indicated that President Tinubu had sent intermediaries to caution Adelabu against resigning.

This context highlights the political dynamics within the APC as members navigate their ambitions while maintaining party loyalty.
