The Minister of Power and governorship candidate of Accord in the 2023 election in Oyo State, Chief Adebayo Adelabu has announced his return to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The 2015 governorship candidate of APC decamped to Accord in June 2022 after losing the party ticket to Senator Teslim Folarin.
Adelabu, in a letter addressed to Oyo State Chairman of APC, Hon. Isaac Omodewu, notified that he will be returning to the APC alongside other top politicians and all his loyalists in the state.
The Minister of Power explained that he left the APC in 2022 because of injustice, lies, conspiracy and malice.
He, therefore, implored all the state executives, party chairmen in all local governments and leaders across the state to be in attendance for the ceremony, which is scheduled to be held at the state party office, Oke, Ado, Ibadan, Oyo state.
The letter reads:
CEREMONY TO ANNOUNCE MY RETURN TO APC
I hereby write to notify the State Executives and leaders of All Progressive Party Congress (APC), Oyo State, of my intention to officially announce my return to our great party at a ceremony to be held at the party office in Oke-Ado on 15th December 2023. I want this ceremony to be anchored by the state executives with all local government party chairmen and leaders in attendance.
2. You will recall that I left the party alongside my faithful and loyal followers at the peak of the crisis rocking the party emanating from the manner the state congress and consequently the primary elections were administered.
However, having consulted with our national leaders and national executives, I have decided to return to the party. My first demonstration of this was a courtesy visit to the party’s National Chairman where we agreed on the imperatives of my return to the party.
3. As a serving Minister of Power of the Federal Republic of Nigeria under President Tinubu led Administration, I look forward to a robust working relationship with the state executive, party leaders, and entire party members towards achieving the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President and the party at large, and in particular, in installing an APC-led Government at the State level in 2027 for an unprecedented development of Oyo State.
