Former Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu has officially announced his intention to contest in the 2027 governorship election in Oyo State.
Adelabu confirmed that he will run for the governorship position under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The declaration took place on Tuesday at the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium in Oke Ado, Ibadan, where several party leaders, supporters, and stakeholders gathered to witness the announcement. Among the notable APC members present at the event were Chief Kunle Sanda, Chief Isiaka Alimi, and Chief Wale Sanusi.
While addressing the crowd, Adelabu explained that his decision to join the race was driven by his desire to bring more development and democratic benefits to the people of Oyo State. According to him, the state deserves improved governance, security, stability, and better economic opportunities.
The former minister promised to introduce projects and policies that would improve the standard of living of residents across the state. He stressed that governance should go beyond speeches and political promises, adding that people at the grassroots level must feel the impact of good leadership.
Reflecting on his political journey, Adelabu noted that his ambition started in 2019 and expressed confidence that 2027 would favour him. He also appreciated past leaders and former governors of Oyo State while thanking party leaders and supporters for standing by him.
Adelabu further praised President Bola Tinubu for his “Renewed Hope” agenda and expressed gratitude for the support of the APC leadership.
According to him, his experience and exposure in public service have prepared him to build a more economically advanced Oyo State. He assured supporters that if elected, his administration would focus on development, security, and people-oriented governance.
His declaration has since sparked conversations within the political space in Oyo State as preparations for the 2027 governorship election gradually begin.
