Adebayo Adelabu, an aide to the Minister of Power, has denied reports that top members of the All Progressives Congress asked the minister to drop out of the Oyo State governorship race.
Femi Awogboro, an aide, said the reports were false and that former governors Adebisi Akande and Olusegun Osoba still support Adelabu’s goal.
“Chief Akande and Chief Osoba have a lot of faith in Adelabu’s ability to support progressive ideas in Oyo State. “Since he left the Central Bank of Nigeria to pursue a career in politics, they have always supported and encouraged him,” he said.
Awogboro also denied that APC South-West leaders met in Lagos to talk about Adelabu’s desire to be governor.
He said that no such meeting happened and that the reports were wrong.
The aide said that the minister is still very popular in Oyo State because of the good things he has done for society.
“Adelabu has made a lot of people’s lives better.” “He can’t say enough about how much he helps young people, widows, and people who aren’t as well off in the state.”
He also said that even though people have tried to discredit him, the minister is still getting more popular.
Awogboro told people who were spreading false information to stop, saying that these actions would not stop Adelabu from reaching his goal.
He also told news organizations to check their stories before they publish them.
He said, “I ask media companies to be careful and always check the truth of any information before they publish it.”
The aide asked people in Oyo State to keep supporting the minister and said they believed he would be a good leader if he were elected.
