Supporters of former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, on
Thursday protested at the All Progressives Congress, APC, secretariat in Oyo
State.
The protesters demanded direct primaries as the mode for
selecting the governorship candidate of the party.
Recall that Adelabu resigned as minister last month to
pursue his ambition of contesting the Oyo State governorship election in 2027.
He formally declared his intention to contest the
gubernatorial poll on May 12, 2026.
The development comes as the leaders and stakeholders of the
party in the state formally adopted Senator Sharafadeen Alli as the party’s
consensus governorship candidate ahead of the forthcoming primary election.
Alli’s adoption as consensus candidate was reaffirmed on
Wednesday during a stakeholders’ meeting held at the Emeritus Professor
Theophilus Ogunlesi Hall, University College Hospital, UCH, Ibadan.
