‘I Have Not Resigned’ – Power Minister Adelabu Debunks Viral Resignation Report

Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has dismissed viral claims suggesting he has stepped down from office, describing the report as false and misleading.

The clarification was issued through his Special Adviser on Strategic Communications and Media Relations, Bolaji Tunji, who confirmed that the minister remains in office and continues to carry out his duties.

Speaking during a phone conversation on Tuesday, Tunji said the resignation report circulating on social media is fake and should be disregarded.

The rumour was fueled by a purported resignation letter allegedly written by Adelabu to President Bola Tinubu and dated March 26, 2026. In the widely circulated document, the minister was said to have resigned to pursue his governorship ambition in Oyo State.

Parts of the fake letter claimed that Adelabu expressed gratitude to the president for the opportunity to serve and indicated his intention to focus on contesting for the governorship position.

However, Tunji firmly debunked the document, stressing that it did not originate from the minister and has no official backing.

He reiterated that Adebayo Adelabu has not resigned, nor has he communicated any intention to step down from his position as Minister of Power.

The aide described the development as a deliberate attempt by mischief-makers to spread misinformation, especially amid increasing political activities ahead of future elections.

Despite speculations linking him to political ambitions in Oyo State, Adelabu remains focused on his current assignment, with ongoing efforts to improve Nigeria’s electricity supply and implement reforms in the power sector.

The public has been urged to verify information from credible and official sources before sharing, particularly on sensitive national issues.
