Expanded Footage Showcases Tinubu's Minister's Impressive Estate

Adebayo Adelabu, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Minister of Power, has announced his intentions to contest for the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial ticket in the 2027 elections for Oyo State [1][2][4][5]. However, his ambition faces significant hurdles, including internal party opposition and negative public perception related to his leadership style.

Internal Party Conflicts

The APC Unity Frontiers, a faction within the Oyo APC, has warned that Adelabu’s perceived takeover of the party’s ticket process, particularly the alleged handpicking of candidates like Hon Olatunji Adewale (Murphy), has already cost the party electoral support. They fear such actions could cause the APC to lose the 2027 governorship election in Oyo State if Adelabu secures the ticket [2][4].

Other groups within the party have called for Adelabu and Senator Teslim Folarin (2023 APC governorship candidate) to step aside from the 2027 race to allow fresh contestants, reflecting factional disputes and resistance to his candidacy from within the party [3].

Public Perception

The opposition stems in part from criticisms of Adelabu’s personality as seen by some—he is described as stingy, arrogant, and stubborn, which reportedly affects his popularity among the people of Oyo State [2].

Challenges in the Power Sector

While the search results do not provide detailed specifics about the challenges faced in the power sector under Adelabu’s ministerial leadership, the fact that he remains a controversial figure politically suggests potential criticisms of his effectiveness or approach may contribute to resistance within his home state’s political arena.

The lack of direct information on the power sector challenges in the provided documents indicates a need for further inquiry outside these results to assess his ministerial performance more comprehensively.

National Energy Challenges

The 'Tracking Sustainable Development Goal, SDG7: The Energy Progress Report 2025' provides an overview of the energy situation in Nigeria and the progress made towards achieving sustainable development goals in the energy sector. The report serves as a resource for understanding the energy challenges in Nigeria and potential solutions to address these issues.

In June 2025, the World Bank estimated that 86.8 million Nigerians, the highest in the world, are without electricity [6]. This high number is a significant concern for the country's sustainable development. The challenges in the power sector are not limited to Adelabu's jurisdiction as the Minister of Power.

Adelabu's Mansion and Support

Adebayo Adelabu was seen in a viral video with supporters in his well-furnished white mansion, with some of his supporters describing his mansion as the next Oyo State government house in 2027 [7]. The mansion, reportedly worth millions of naira, is located in Oyo State.
