Power Minister Bayo Adelabu Set to Resign for Oyo Governorship Bid

Reports have emerged today indicating that the Minister of Power, Chief Bayo Adelabu, is preparing to resign his cabinet position to focus on his bid for the Oyo State governorship. Adelabu, who has been at the forefront of recent electricity tariff reforms and national grid upgrades, is reportedly looking to transition back to state-level politics ahead of the 2027 polls.

While the Minister has not yet issued an official resignation letter, close associates suggest that the decision was finalized following consultations with key political stakeholders in Oyo State. His tenure has been marked by both significant milestones in power generation and intense public debate over "Band A" pricing structures.

The potential exit of the Power Minister at this juncture raises questions about the continuity of ongoing energy projects. However, the Presidency is reportedly already vetting potential successors to ensure that the momentum in the power sector is not lost during the transition.
