Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has refuted a recent report by an online news medium alleging that he constructed a luxury mansion within two years of his appointment as minister, against the backdrop of electricity tariff increases.
In a viral video, the report had claimed that the minister was flaunting an extravagant lifestyle funded through corrupt means, citing the construction of a new mansion allegedly completed during his tenure.
But in a statement issued by his media aide, Mr. Femi Awogboro, Adelabu dismissed the report as “false, mischievous, and calculated to tarnish my reputation”.
