The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has said that his return to the All Progressives Congress from the Accord Party is not about succeeding Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State in 2027.
Adelabu stated this during his official return to APC at the party secretariat in Oke-Ado, Ibadan, on Friday.
Adelabu left the APC in May 2022 to join the Accord Party after failing to secure the governorship ticket of the party.
The minister, while addressing the party faithful at the event, said that he and others who left the party with him had formally returned to the APC to make the party stronger.
He explained that they had earlier left the party based on principle and not because they had problems with APC in the state or with party members.
The minister said, “I returned not because of 2027 governorship ambition or to take over the party, but because I believe this is a party that brought President Bola Tinubu to power, and we need to support him to deliver on his electoral promises.
