The immediate past Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has said contrary to insinuations, he consulted President Bola Tinubu before resigning.
Adelabu said this in a statement made available to newmen on Saturday.
It was reported that Adelabu resigned to pursue his governorship ambition in Oyo State, on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
There were reports that Adelabu did not make necessary consultations before he resigned.
In the statement made available through his Media Aide, Femi Awogboro, Adelabu explained that his resignation was not in any way against President Tinubu’s wishes.
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’.
