2027: I have no plan to dump APC for SDP – Adelabu

The immediate past Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has declared that he has no plan to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Adelabu made this declaration via a statement issued on his behalf by his media aide, Femi Awogboro.

The statement was made available to DAILY POST in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Wednesday.

DAILY POST gathered that a rumour surfaced online on Tuesday that Adelabu had concluded plans to dump the APC.

It was stated in the rumour that the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) intended to join the SDP.

But Adelabu, in his reaction, described the rumour as false and baseless.

He said that the rumour was fabricated to mislead members of the public.

Adelabu, in the statement, maintained that he is a committed member of the APC.

He, however, insisted that no amount of falsehood can deter him from the party.

“Those behind this rumour should understand that Chief Adelabu remains a committed and loyal member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and no amount of falsehood, propaganda, wishful thinking, or political mischief can alter that reality.

“The attempt to link Chief Adelabu with a non-existent defection agenda is therefore highly disrespectful and should be condemned by all well-meaning members of the public. It is nothing more than a calculated effort to generate media attention and create an artificial political trend where none exists.”
