Doubts Arise On Power Minister Adelabu Oyo Gov Ambition As He Disowns Circulating Resignation Letter
Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, may have shelved his ambition to contest the Oyo State governorship election next year, having failed to resign his cabinet position by the March 30, 2026, deadline set by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Amid the circulation of a purported resignation letter on social media, Adelabu’s media aide, Mr. Bolaji Tunji, dismissed the document as “fake news.”
He stated that the Minister remains in office and continues to carry out his duties in line with the president’s mandate.
Adelabu had held consultations over the past year regarding his intention to contest the Oyo State governorship election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
However, when asked last week during a press briefing in Abuja about his ambition and any plans to resign, the Minister declined to give a direct response.
“I am fully focused on my job as the Minister of Power,” he said.
