2027: Adelabu Must Not Get Guber Ticket To Avoid Replica Of Ibadan North Bye-election Defeat — APC Group Warns

The APC Unity Frontiers, a group within the Oyo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, has stated that the outcome of the Saturday’s Ibadan North by-election could be replicated in the 2027 gubernatorial elections if the Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu gets the party gubernatorial ticket.

The group made this assertion in a statement signed by its Chairman, Alhaji Akindele Olatubosun and secretary, Mr Taiwo Adeniyi on Sunday while reacting to the Ibadan North Bye-election result.

According to the APC Unity Frontiers, Adelabu’s sudden hijack of the party ticket for his person, Hon Olatunji Adewale also known as Murphy costs the party the election.

While calling for free, fair and credible primary election, the group added that if Murphy were to be a neutral person and not someone the Power Minister handpicked, the result of the election would have been otherwise.
