Minister of Power Debunks Resignation Rumours, Labels Claims as Fake

Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has dismissed circulating reports suggesting that he has resigned from his position, describing the claims as entirely false and misleading.

The clarification was made public by Seun Okinbaloye, a prominent broadcaster with Channels Television, who revealed that the minister personally refuted the rumours.

According to Okinbaloye, the Minister of Power categorically denied stepping down, stressing that the information making the rounds particularly across social media platforms should be disregarded as fake news.
The rumour, which gained traction earlier, had sparked speculation about instability within Nigeria’s power sector leadership. However, the minister’s swift response appears aimed at restoring public confidence and curbing misinformation.

Observers note that in recent times, high-profile resignation rumours have increasingly surfaced online, often without credible sources. This latest incident underscores the growing challenge of misinformation in Nigeria’s digital space.

As it stands, Adebayo Adelabu remains fully in office and continues to oversee efforts aimed at improving Nigeria’s electricity supply and power infrastructure.

Bottom Line: There is no resignation. The Minister of Power is still in charge, and the reports suggesting otherwise have been officially debunked.
