2027: Adelabu Dismisses Defection From APC
The immediate past Minister of Power and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adebayo Adelabu, has dismissed a report suggesting that he has defected to another party.
Adelabu debunked the allegation in a statement by his media office on Tuesday after his media aide, Ajiboye Akande, dumped the APC for the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).

The ex-Minister clarified that prior to his defection, Akande had ceased to be his personal assistant and holds no official or political relationship with him.
He further stated that their relationship ended when he decided to associate with another political party.
“I remain a member of APC and have no intention of leaving the party. My disagreement with aspects of the Oyo governorship nomination is about the process and the need for transparency and legitimacy, and not an excuse to abandon the party.
“I will not betray President Bola Tinubu, whom I regard as my political mentor and benefactor, or abandon the party that provided me the opportunity to serve,” he said.
