APC stakeholders reject Adelabu for Oyo ministerial slot
Some stakeholders under the APC Oodua Reformation Group have expressed strong opposition against the nomination of Adelabu as the ministerial nominee for Oyo State.
In a statement on Monday, July 24, the group described the president's choice as an insult to local members of the APC in the state, who worked tirelessly for the success of Tinubu in the state during the election.
Recall that Adelabu dumped the APC for the accord party in the build-up to the 2023 governorship election in the state and contested against Teslim Folarin, the party's guber candidate.
