The Unity Frontiers, a group within the Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has warned the Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu following the outcome of Ibadan North Federal Constituency bye-election.
The group, in a statement signed by its Chairman, Alhaji Akindele Olatubosun and Secretary, Mr. Taiwo Adeniyi on Sunday, stated that the outcome of the Saturday’s Ibadan North by-election could be replicated in the 2027 gubernatorial elections if the Minister, Chief Adebayo Adelabu gets the party gubernatorial ticket.
According to the APC Unity Frontiers, Adelabu’s sudden hijack of the party ticket for his person, Hon Olatunji Adewale also known as Murphy costs the party the election.
While calling for free, fair and credible primary election, the group added that if Murphy were to be a neutral person and not someone the Power Minister handpicked, the result of the election would have been otherwise.
The group urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the leadership of the party at the National level to save the party from any form of hijack which may result in failure in the 2027 general election.
The group said that this assertion is based on the fact that the people Oyo state don’t want to hear anything Adelabu due to his stinginess, arrogance and stubbornness.
The statement reads
The outcome of the Ibadan North by-election could be replicated in the 2027 gubernatorial elections if Chief Adebayo Adelabu gets the APC gubernatorial ticket.
If Murphy were to be a neutral person and not someone the Power Minister handpicked, the result of the election would have been otherwise. The people of Oyo state don’t want to hear anything Adelabu due to his stinginess, arrogance, and stubbornness.
We urge President Bola Tinubu and the leadership of the party at the national level to save the party from any form of hijack which may result in failure in the 2027 general election.
