Adebayo Adelabu Affirms Loyalty to APC Amid Defection Rumors
Adebayo Adelabu, the immediate past Minister of Power, publicly stated that he is not defecting from the All Progressives Congress (APC). This clarification came in a statement from his media office on Tuesday, following the defection of his media aide, Ajiboye Akande, to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
Adelabu, who was an Oyo APC governorship aspirant but lost in the party's primaries, emphasized that Akande is no longer his personal assistant and has no official or political ties with him. He reiterated his loyalty to the APC, stating, “I remain a member of APC and have no intention of leaving the party.” Adelabu expressed that his disagreements regarding the Oyo governorship nomination process are focused on transparency and legitimacy, not on abandoning the party.
He also affirmed his respect for President Bola Tinubu, whom he considers a political mentor and benefactor.
