Adelabu: No Plans to Switch from APC to SDP in 2027

The former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has stated that he has no intention of leaving the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Adelabu made the statement through a release issued by his media aide, Femi Awogboro.

The release was presented to DAILY POST in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, on Wednesday.

DAILY POST reports that a rumor circulated online on Tuesday claiming that Adelabu had decided to defect from the APC.

The rumor alleged that the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) intended to join the SDP.

Adelabu dismissed the claim as false and baseless.

He said the rumor was fabricated to mislead the public.

In the statement, Adelabu reaffirmed his commitment to the APC.

He added that no falsehood could deter him from the party.

“Those behind this rumor should understand that Chief Adelabu remains a committed and loyal member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and no amount of falsehood, propaganda, wishful thinking, or political mischief can alter that reality,” he said.

“The attempt to link Chief Adelabu with a non-existent defection agenda is therefore highly disrespectful and should be condemned by all well‑meaning members of the public. It is nothing more than a calculated effort to generate media attention and create an artificial political trend where none exists.”
