A former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has joined Accord Party to pursue his governorship ambition.
Adelabu, who lost the APC ticket to Senator Teslim Folarin, said Accord is the political platform upon which his gubernatorial ambition shall be pursued to actualize his lifetime dreams.
Addressing his supporters on his next move in Ibadan on Thursday, Adelabu said it was needless to restate the reason for relinquishing his APC membership because it was of public knowledge.
“What is important above all is that my leaders, supporters and teeming people of Oyo State are hereby assured of my determination never to disappoint them in the pursuit of my gubernatorial ambition to reality by the Will of God.
“I wish to present my humble self for the Political Liberation Movement to rescue our pacesetting state from the bad operation of clueless and inept people in government and in the other party.
“We shall together inaugurate a new era of peace and progress in our dear state in line with my 7-point agenda when I become the executive governor by God’s grace in 2023,” Adelabu said.
