Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu has said that his return
to the All Progressives Congress, APC, 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.
The News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports that Adelabu left
APC in May 2022 to join Accord Party after failing to secure the governorship
ticket of the party.
The minister, while addressing party faithful at the event, said that he and others who left the party with him had formally returned to APC to make the party stronger.
He explained they had earlier left the party based on
principle and not because they had problems with APC in the state or with party
members.
“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.
“This is not time for politics; it is time for governance,
and Tinubu needs our support for him to succeed and deliver on his Renewed Hope
Agenda.
“I have come back to the party not to take over the party
and not to dissolve executives; we have come to the party to extend hands of
fellowship and reconciliation.
“We are assuring you that we are back for cooperation and
collaboration for us to build a strong party so that the party will take over
power in the state at the end of the day in 2027,” Adelabu said.
In his remarks, APC chairman in the state, Isaac Omodewu,
who was represented by the party’s secretary, Alhaji Tajudeen Olanike, said
that the party is open for reconciliation and ready to listen to all aggrieved
members to build a stronger party.
Also speaking, a former deputy governor, Moses Adeyemo, said
that the party needs peace and unity of all members for progress.
