The former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has firmly denied rumors suggesting he intends to leave the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) ahead of the 2027 elections. In a statement released by his media aide, Femi Awogboro, in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Wednesday, Adelabu dismissed the speculation as unfounded and malicious. The statement emphasized that Adelabu remains a dedicated APC member and that the rumors are designed to mislead the public. Addressing the false claims, he insisted that no amount of propaganda can sway his allegiance to the party. The rumor, which circulated online on Tuesday, had alleged that the former Central Bank of Nigeria deputy governor was planning a political switch. However, Adelabu labeled it a calculated attempt to generate unwarranted media attention and create a nonexistent trend. He urged the public to disregard the falsehood and reaffirmed his commitment to the APC.
