Former Deputy Governor (Operations) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Adebayo Adelabu, has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Adelabu made this announcement on Sunday.

Adelabu was the gubernatorial candidate of APC in 2019.

He was also one of the gubernatorial aspirants who contested the APC primary election on Friday.

Adelabu has, however, said that he has dumped the APC.

The former CBN Deputy Governor, who did not disclose the party where he would join ahead of 2023, said that the APC has been hijacked in the state.

Adelabu said, “Since my followers have asked me to leave APC, we have left the APC.

“We will sit down with our leaders to decide on the political party to join. We will come back to APC after winning the gubernatorial election, because we are progressives.

“It worked during the time of late Abiola Ajimobi, he left AC and went to ANPP and later came back to ACN.

“Just give us 48 hours to get back to you to announce the next political party to join.”
