The Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu on Friday doled out a N100 million business support grant to traders, artisans and farmers across Oyo State. Adelabu, a 2027 All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial aspirant in Oyo State said the empowerment was part of his ‘2025 Mega Empowerment and Economic Relief Program Series’ to alleviate suffering of the masses across the state. He said empowerment became necessary as part of his efforts in giving back to society. According to him, considering the current economic challenges across the nation particularly the state, there was the need for relief for traders, artisans and farmers in the state. He said, “The empowerment is not about politics, I use it to thank God for his mercy on me, so, I’m giving back to society.” Read Also: AFCON 2025: Ivorian Bamba omits Super Eagles from likely title contenders He urged residents of the state and Nigeria at large to continue to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu so that Tinubu can be re-elected again as Nigeria’s President. “President Tinubu is God sent to Nigeria, he meant well for us, let us all support him and APC, though, things are somehow tough, but I can assure you that Nigerians will soon reap the gain of their pains.” Dignitaries at the event include former Deputy Governor of the state, Chief Moses Adeyemo; the Babaloja General of Oyo State, Alhaji Yekini Abass; APC Secretary, Alhaji Tajudeen Olanite; and Prince Gbade Lana among others.
