Ibadan North APC By-Election: Minister Adelabu’s Plan to Influence Delegate Congress Exposed

As the All Progressives Congress (APC) prepares for its congress to elect delegates for the upcoming primary elections ahead of the August House of Representatives by-election in Ibadan North Federal Constituency, indications suggest that Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has orchestrated a plan to manipulate the process.

The party’s delegate congress is slated for tomorrow, Saturday, July 17, 2025.

According to prominent party figures, Chief Adelabu has reportedly accommodated the Dr. Umar Duhu-led Delegate Congress Committee at Josephine Hotel, Ikolaba, Ibadan, in a bid to compromise the exercise.

The group alleges that Chief Adelabu’s move aims to favor his political ally, Hon. Adewale Murphy, a former member of the Accord Party.

The group has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the national leadership of the APC to intervene and ensure a free and fair exercise, calling on them to rein in Chief Adelabu’s alleged machinations.
