The Minister of Power and All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Oyo State, Adebayo Adelabu, has said his decision to contest the 2027 governorship election is driven by his desire to serve the people of the state.
Adelabu said his ambition stems from a deep love for the poor, the less privileged, and the people across Oyo State, adding that he is committed to improving their welfare if elected governor.
Speaking while addressing APC leaders, stakeholders, and members of the party in the Oke-Ogun Zone 2 area of the state, Adelabu assured that his administration would prioritize development and progress across all sectors.
He was accompanied by Hon. Abiodun Ambali, brother of the late former governor Abiola Ajimobi, as well as Alhaji Wasiu Sanusi, Alhaji Kola Amoo, Alhaji Fatai Adesokan, and other party leaders.
Adelabu emphasized the importance of unity within the APC ahead of the next general election, noting that internal division would only weaken the party.
“United APC owns Oyo State, PDP is a tenant in Agodi Government House. A divided house can never be victorious. APC will regain Oyo State in 2027,” he declared.
“There should be internal democracy in our party, starting from our upcoming congress. I want to assure you that no one will impose any candidate on us. Our party must unite and stand as one.”
