The Minister of Power, Chief Adelabu Adebayo has revealed that he and other party faithful who left the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state in 2022 have now returned to make the party stronger in the state.
He stated this during his official return to APC at the party secretariat in Oke-Ado, Ibadan, on Friday.
He further stated that his return to the party would enable him to attract dividends of democracy to the people in the state while urging the people to support the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
Adelabu further revealed that he formerly left the party based on principle and lack of internal democracy while affirming that the party would wrestle power from the governing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
“I did not return to the party because of 2027 governorship ambition or to take over the affairs of the party but to support and help President Bola Tinubu to deliver on his electoral promises.
“I intentionally did not allow the National APC to dissolve the state executives because we believe in reconciliation. We will set up a harmonisation committee to reconcile all aggrieved party members. This is not time for politics; it is time for governance, and Tinubu needs our support to succeed and deliver on his Renewed Hope Agenda”.
He added that he would extend his hand of fellowship and reconciliation to other aggrieved party stakeholders while assuring that the party would restore dividends of democracy in the state if elected to power.
Other decampees alongside Adelabu included, Kolapo Kola-Daisi, Otunba Rotimi Ajanaku, Arc Hassan Giwa, Abass Aleshinloye, former Oyo ALGON chairman among others.
