The Minister of Power and former All Progressives Congress gubernatorial candidate in 2019 in Oyo State, Adebayo Adelabu, has declared his readiness to run again in the 2027 gubernatorial election, stating that his ambition is not driven by personal or selfish interests.
As seen by TVC in a viral video on X, Adelabu explained that his desire to serve as governor stems from his deep love for the poor, the less privileged, and the people of Oyo State as a whole.
TVC gathered that Adelabu made the remarks while addressing APC leaders, stakeholders, and party members in Oke-Ogun Zone 2 of the state.
Speaking in Yoruba, 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!
