Adebayo Adelabu, the immediate past Minister of Power, has stated that he has no intention of defecting from All Progressive Congress (APC).
Adelabu made this declaration in a statement by his media office on Tuesday.
He made the clarification after his media aide, Ajiboye Akande, dumped the APC for the Allied Peoples Movement, APM.
DAILY POST reports that Adelabu was an Oyo APC governorship aspirant but was defeated in the party’s primaries.
The ex-minister stressed that Akande no longer serves as his personal assistant and holds no official or political relationship with him.
He further clarified that their relationship ended when he decided to align with another political party.
“I remain a member of APC and have no intention of leaving the party. My disagreement with aspects of the Oyo governorship nomination is about the process and the need for transparency and legitimacy, and not an excuse to abandon the party.
“I will not betray President Bola Tinubu, whom I regard as my political mentor and benefactor, or abandon the party that provided me the opportunity to serve,” he said.
