Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 47406, member: 636"] Power Minister Adebayo Adelabu rejected reports about President Bola Tinubu picking a favorite candidate for Oyo State governor. The minister spoke to local party officials at his home in Iyaganku. He told All Progressives Congress leaders that fair primary elections will choose their 2027 nominee. Adelabu promised no outside interference will affect the selection process. Party members will decide through proper voting procedures. The minister wants respectful competition between all candidates who seek the nomination. He believes primary contests should not create lasting enemies among party members. Losing candidates will receive government jobs or other positions after the election. This approach keeps everyone involved and prevents people from feeling abandoned. Adelabu thinks unity matters more than individual ambitions. Tinubu respects democratic processes and listens to voters across Nigeria. The president will not travel to Oyo State to influence their candidate selection. All people seeking the nomination belong to the same political family under his leadership. Presidential preferences will not override local party decisions. Democracy works best when people choose their representatives freely. Adelabu won the 2019 APC primary through competitive campaigning without outside help. His campaign worked harder than other candidates that year. The contest proved that merit beats political connections. Fair competition produces the strongest nominees for general elections. Past success shows the party can handle future primaries properly. Local party chairman Mojeed Olaoya promised full support for whoever wins the 2027 primary. All APC members will unite behind their chosen candidate. Party loyalty will overcome any primary disagreements. Olaoya believes teamwork wins elections better than individual efforts. The party plans to present a strong front against opposition candidates.
