- Through his media aide, Femi Awogboro, Adelabu clarified that construction started in November 2021 and finished in August 2023, before his September 2023 ministerial appointment.
Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu has denied claims that he built his multimillion-naira mansion within two years of joining President Tinubu’s cabinet.
Through his media aide, Femi Awogboro, Adelabu clarified that construction started in November 2021 and finished in August 2023, before his September 2023 ministerial appointment. He explained the current mansion is a redevelopment of a house he built on the same site in 2010.
Adelabu urged the media outlet to retract the report, warning of possible legal action if they fail to comply.
He added, “I began and completed this project before my appointment. I only moved in this year due to work schedules and timing constraints. The attention arose after a viral video of my hosting of popular Fuji musician, Alhaji Wasiu Alabi Pasuma, following the Ibadan North Federal Constituency by-election campaign flag-off.
“Everyone is aware of my long-standing investments in hospitality and real estate, both within and outside Oyo State, which have contributed significantly to job creation. Sahara Reporters’ baseless publication is a failed attempt to discredit me and, by extension, undermine the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
