A former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has declared his intention to contest the governorship election in Oyo State, promising to execute projects and policies that will improve the living standard of the people.

It is with all humility that I stand before you today to declare my intention to contest for the gubernatorial election on the platform of our great party, APC, in the year 2027. I want to appreciate the President and Commander in chief, Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Thank you for the new hope.
