Reacting to the need for clarity about the said letter and his ambition on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adelabu said, “Of course, yes, I am very much in the race.
“But I will act at the appropriate time, and you will be duly informed, but will be with the consent of Mr President. For now, I’m committed to my present assignment. It’s still about service, whether national or sub-national”.
New Telegraph recalls that Tinubu had directed all political appointees in his administration who intend to contest elective positions in the 2027 elections to resign from their posts on or before March 31.
He hinged his decision on Section 88(1) of the Electoral Act 2026 and the timetable released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for party primaries ahead of the 2027 polls.
