Bayo Adelabu, the Minister of Power, held meetings on Friday with All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders and stakeholders in both the Ogbomoso and Oyo zones of Oyo State.
These consultations, he explained, are part of his efforts across the state’s geopolitical zones to advance his governorship ambition for 2027.
Addressing party members at Ayoade Adeseun’s residence in Ogbomoso, Adelabu reassured stakeholders that the APC would not impose any aspirant in 2027.

He expressed confidence in his ability to compete and emerge victorious, stating, “I’m up to the task, I want to show them that I can withstand and survive competition and come out victorious.”
While seeking their support for his aspiration, Adelabu also appealed for forgiveness from any aggrieved party members, urging them to prioritize the party’s return to power in 2027.
He openly declared his intention, saying, “I’m here to tell you that I want to contest for governor of Oyo State in 2027. I’m ready to put to test all experience I’ve gathered from the past two elections.”
Adelabu maintained a neutral stance on which zone should produce the next governor, emphasizing that “God’s time is the best.”
He acknowledged Ogbomoso’s significant role in the state election and expressed satisfaction that factions within the area had unified.

Additionally, he urged support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election, asserting that it would bring more democratic dividends and uphold the Yoruba’s turn to serve two terms as President.
In Oyo town, Adelabu similarly sought support, promising an inclusive government if elected governor in 2027 where “everybody will be involved in governance of the state and no one will be left behind.”
He reiterated his determination to prove his capability and withstand competition, emphasizing that “no one can impose anybody.”
Highlighting his personal connection to Oyo, he spoke of strong existing support and pledged to prioritize the zone’s needs, recognizing its historical, symbolic, and beneficial significance to the state.
Both Ayoade Adeseun and Olamijuwonlo Alao-Akala, son of a former governor, called for unity among party members to ensure an APC victory in 2027.
