Adelabu denies calling on Nigerians to reject APC

The former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, dismissed a claim circulated on social media that he had urged Nigerians to reject the All Progressives Congress (APC). Adelabu's media office stated that the report was false and misleading, attributing it to a video excerpt from an interview held in 2022 when Adelabu was the governorship candidate of the Accord Party in Oyo State.

The media office claimed the video was taken out of context, and Adelabu's comments were intended to highlight the disappointments Nigerians faced with political parties and the importance of focusing on the credibility and character of individual candidates. The statement emphasized that Adelabu remained committed to the APC and loyal to President Bola Tinubu, despite controversies surrounding the party’s governorship nomination process in Oyo State.

The media office urged the public to disregard the fabricated narrative and to verify information before sharing it.
