Adelabu says he remains with APC after former aide joins APM
Former Power Minister Adebayo Adelabu has separated himself from his former aide’s move from the All Progressives Congress to the Allied Peoples Movement. Adelabu said he remains a member of the APC, according to a report focused on political positioning ahead of Oyo State’s 2027 contest.
Former Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu has distanced himself from his former aide’s defection from the All Progressives Congress to the Allied Peoples Movement. Punch Nigeria reported that Adelabu affirmed he remains in the APC. His statement was made in response to the former aide’s movement to the APM and was presented as a clarification of his own political affiliation.
The development comes in the context of preparations and alignments ahead of the 2027 political contest in Oyo State. However, the available material does not identify the aide, give details of the defection or explain the political reasons behind it. Adelabu’s position indicates that the former aide’s decision should not be interpreted as a departure by the former minister from the APC.
No further statement from the aide, the APM or the APC was included in the supplied report.
