Adelabu declares 2027 governorship bid, says Oyo deserves people-centered leadership
By Adejayan Gbenga –
The Minister of Power and 2027 All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Oyo State, Adebayo Adelabu, has said his political ambition is not driven by personal interest but by a genuine desire to improve the lives of the people.
Adelabu made this known over the weekend while addressing APC leaders, stakeholders, and members in Oke-Ogun Zone 2, where he assured that his administration would prioritize progress and development if given the opportunity to serve.
Oke-Ogun Zone 2 comprises Oorelope, Saki East, Saki West, Olorunsogo, Irepo, and Atisbo local government areas.
The minister, who was accompanied by key party figures, urged members to remain united ahead of the 2027 polls, stressing that victory could only be achieved through collective effort.
He said, “I have been on this political journey for quite some time. In politics, I have learned that one may not always get what one deserves in a single attempt. Life and politics have both taught me this lesson.
“I have paid my dues. I contested alongside Seyi Makinde in 2019 and again in 2023. Today, I declare: it is our turn, it is my turn in 2027, as God has revealed it. Adelabu! Àwálòkàn! Penkelemesi Èmilòkàn!”
