The former CBN Deputy Governor, recently held a media parley at his Iyaganku western hotel has continued to reach out to political leaders across the state as part of his consultation towards what many described as preparation for 2023.
The APC governorship candidate hopeful had not hidden his passion and desire to dislodge the incumbent governor of Oyo state, Engr Seyi Makinde come 2023.
Penkelemes as he is popularly called has also publicly shown his love and admirations for Alhaji Olopoeyan, an opposition leader of PDP extraction in Oyo state.

The meeting of Adelabu and Bisi Olopoeyan is coming 2 weeks after Adelabu 50th birthday and this has birthed mixed feelings among some members of the ruling party in the state.
