The resignation also highlights the ongoing movement of top federal officials into state-level politics, a trend that has become increasingly common in Nigeria’s political landscape. Adelabu’s experience in the power sector, coupled with his grassroots appeal, positions him as a formidable candidate. His departure from the federal cabinet is not expected to disrupt ongoing power projects, as the ministry continues under new leadership. Looking ahead, Adelabu’s campaign will likely focus on energy development, job creation, and infrastructure improvement—key issues that resonate with voters in Oyo State. His political journey now shifts from national policy to local governance, with eyes set on winning the governorship in 2027.
