The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, yesterday, resigned his position to pursue a governorship bid in Oyo State.

Adelabu is the third minister to exit President Bola Tinubu’s Federal Executive Council within the past 48 hours.

This was as the Presidency pushed back against reports that the former Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, and former Minister of Housing, Ahmed Dangiwa, were sacked.Adelabu’s resignation letter, dated April 22, 2026, and addressed to President Bola Tinubu through the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, stated that his exit would take effect on April 30, 2026, to allow for a smooth and orderly handover of responsibilities.
