The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has denied reports suggesting he has resigned from office, describing the claims as false and misleading amid growing political speculation over his future. Responding in a WhatsApp chat with journalists on Tuesday, Adelabu’s Special Assistant on Media, Bolaji Tunji, dismissed the reports as fake news, insisting that the minister remains fully committed to his responsibilities in the power sector. “What matters to me most now is this job that I am doing as the Honourable Minister of Power. It is all about service, either at the national level or at the subnational level,” Adelabu added. However, in remarks that further fuelled speculation, the minister hinted that his political future remains undecided.
