The immediate past Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has said he consulted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu before resigning from office.
Adelabu made this known in a statement released on Saturday, dismissing reports that he failed to carry out proper consultations before stepping down.
He resigned from his position to pursue his governorship ambition in Oyo State under the All Progressives Congress.
According to the statement issued through his media aide, Femi Awogboro, the decision to resign had the full approval of the President.
The statement said:
“Adelabu actually obtained the full approval and blessing of President Tinubu before taking the decision to resign. Those spreading false speculations to desist, such claims are baseless.
“Critics have nothing tangible to hold against Adelabu and are only unsettled by the unprecedented crowd that welcomed him back to Ibadan last Thursday.”
Adelabu insisted that his resignation was not in any way against the wishes of the President, stressing that contrary claims are false.
