Adelabu Resign As Power Minister, To Pursue Governorship Ambition by InfoGuru118(op): 7:00pm On Mar 31

The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu has resigned his position.

His resignation letter dated March 26th, 2026 was addressed to President Bola Tinubu through the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).

He said the resignation was necessitated by his determination to pursue his governorship ambition in Oyo State.

The letter reads in part, “I write with profound gratitude to Your Excellency to formally tender my resignation from my position as the Honourable Minister of Power, Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“I wish to sincerely thank Your Excellency for the confidence reposed in me and the opportunity given to serve our great nation under your administration. It has been a privilege contributing to the efforts aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s power sector in line with your Renewed Hope Agenda.

“My decision to resign is to enable me fully pursue my aspiration to contest for the office of Governor of Oyo State and to dedicate my time and resources to that endeavour.

“Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest respect and appreciation.”

Praise God oooo....The paramount ruler of Okunkun Birim Birim, His Royal Incompetence, the Olokunkun of Okunkun 1 is gone. I have actually looked forward to it.

He has not proven himself, yet he is running for a "higher" office! Even the President is apologizing for what he committed to his care. Oyo State, behold your son...a monumental failure in service of mean feat.

Wherewithal Nigeria?

I mentioned this even two weeks before now and I'm glad it has finally happened.

He will go down history as the worst power minister Nigeria ever had. The guy looted enough funds in order to enhance his gubernatorial campaigns. It's quite sad that he's the next Oyo State governor cos I can't see GSM getting it for his anointed successor

Penkelems is a Mess.

How will a Banker even be minister of power?
I know some will argue that there's nothing wrong in that, but come on, it matters a lot.

Imagine The current ADC spokesman, Abdullahi Bolaji as a former sports minister and Solomon Dalong. These two have no passion for sports and knew nothing in their roles.
How about Fashola a lawyer, and minister of power?
A minister of education who has no knowledge about How education can be improved upon and who never studied any education related courses.

Good news eventually. He came and terrible bad news start coming from Nigeria power sector. What was worse before he came got extremely, over 100% worst. Olodo

If you allow this Failure to win Oyo governorship it will be the beginning of backward on all the progress Oyo state have enjoyed under SM.

From his face you'd know he doesn't know anything. His look tells he's the kind of man that likes faaji, women and high position. He doesn't look intelligent or a visionary man

This is what should be called shamelessness. You failed woefully in a role that you supposed to showcase yourself to the people, yet you get mind to contest election.

You are supposed to bury your head in shame for the being the worst minister of power in recent times. You are supposed to resign and go solo.
