To enable him to pursue his governorship aspiration in the next year general elections, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has officially dumped the party for the ACCORD Party.
Chief Adelabu, who lost the APC ticket to Senator Teslim Folarin, decamped from All Progressives Congress (APC) to end speculations making the rounds.
The former APC chieftain cited blatant injustice, lie, conspiracy and malice as some of the reasons behind his decision to relinquish his membership of the main opposition party in the state.
According to the statement by the former Deputy Governor of CBN, “Change Of Political Party: A time exists in the life of a sincere aspiring man of the public when events and circumstances lesson the operation of his mind onto new decision, new desire and new determination.
“Such time now finds expression in my political career which necessitates vital change, fundamental decision and refreshing determination.
“It is therefore on this basis that I hereby declare the withdrawal of my membership from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to ACCORD Party of Nigeria (ACCORD).
“This is the political platform upon which my gubernatorial ambition shall be pursued to actualisation by the guidance and grace of the Almighty Allah.
“It is needless to restate in details, reason for relinquishing my APC membership on the point that such reason is public knowledge.
“The man dies in him who keeps silent in the face of blatant injustice and the life of a lie is a matter of little time. Evil people struggle in vain in their conspiracy against their innocent fellowman because malice is a poor match for destiny.”
Adelabu explained that he is not ready to disappoint his leaders, supporters and the people of Oyo State of his determination to pursue and realisation of his governorship ambition.
“By the Will of God, I wish to present my humble self for the political liberation movement to rescue our pacesetting state from the bad operation of clueless and inept people in government and in the other party.
“We shall together inaugurate a new era of peace and progress in our dear state in line with my 7-point agenda when I become the executive governor, by God’s grace, in 2023.
“There is accord for our vision in the ACCORD Party of Nigeria. We hereby move to therein accordingly. May God guide, guard and bless each and all,” the statement said.
