Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has resigned from his position to pursue his governorship ambition in Oyo State ahead of the 2027 elections.
His resignation is understood to be in line with directives requiring political appointees seeking elective offices to step down from their roles.
Adelabu, a former governorship candidate in Oyo State, is expected to re-enter the race under a major political platform as consultations intensify among stakeholders.
Sources indicate that his move is part of early political realignments as preparations for the 2027 general elections begin to gather momentum.
