CURRENT Minister of Power who was the governorship candidate of the opposition Accord Party in the 2023 general election in Oyo State, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, is rejoining the All Progressives Congress (APC) next Friday 15th December 2023.
Adelabu made this known in a letter addressed to the state party chairman, Hon. Isaac Omodewu and the executive council members of the party in the state.
The letter reads in part: “I hereby write to notify the State Executives and leaders of the All Progressives Party Congress (APC), Oyo State, of my intention to officially announce my return to our great party at a ceremony to be held at the party office in Oke-Ado on 15th December 2023. I want this ceremony to be anchored by the state executives with all local government party chairmen and leaders in attendance.
“You will recall that I left the party alongside my faithful and loyal followers at the peak of the crisis that rocked the party emanating from the manner the state congress and consequently the primary elections were administered. However, having consulted with our National Leaders and National Executives, I have decided to return to the party. My first demonstration of this was a courtesy visit to the Party’s National Chairman where we agreed on the imperatives of my return to the party.
“As a serving Minister of Power of the Federal Republic of Nigeria under President Tinubu-led administration, I look forward to a robust working relationship with the state executive council, party leaders and entire party members towards achieving the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr President and the party at large, and in particular, in installing an APC-led government at the state level in 2027 for an unprecedented development of Oyo State.”
