Immediate past Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has declared his intention to contest the gubernatorial election in Oyo State.
Adelabu, a former Deputy Governor of Central Bank of
Nigeria, CBN, said he will contest on the platform of All Progressives
Congress, APC.
He declared his intention on Tuesday at Obafemi Awolowo
Stadium, Oke Ado, Ibadan.
The event was attended by prominent members and leaders of
the party, including Chief Kunle Sanda, Chief Isiaka Alimi and Chief Wale
Sanusi, among others.
Adelabu while addressing the gathering noted that he joined
the race because he believes that the state deserves more dividends of
democracy.
Adelabu promised to implement projects and policies aimed at
improving the living conditions of the people of the state.
He said, “Firstly, I want to thank Almighty Allah. We
started this journey in 2019 and I believe 2027 will be our own time. We thank
our past leaders, former governors of Oyo State who have passed away. I want to
thank all the leaders here.
“This declaration message goes beyond declaration. It is the
summary of Adebayo Adelabu’s manifesto. Today is a day to reclaim Oyo State to
genuine progress.
“I stand before you with humility to declare my intention to
contest for the gubernatorial election on the platform of our great party, APC,
in 2027. I want to appreciate the President and Commander-in-chief, Federal
Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Thank you for the renewed
hope.
“Why am I contesting again? It is because I believe Oyo
State deserves more. Oyo State deserves security and stability because
governance goes beyond rethorics.
“I am contesting because I know that I have the experience
and exposure to build a greater Oyo State that is economically advanced. Good
governance must be felt at the grassroots.”
