In a post on X, Olarewaju stated: ”El-Rufai isn’t even close to being my fave but Tinubu kicking him off for political reasons is why Adelabu is in that office and spewing illogical nonsense after several months in the seat – at least El-Rufai had prepared himself.

”Nobody would risk voluntarily switching off their deep freezer only to find that there’s no power supply for the next few days because Adelabu is the Minister of Darkness. The logic that drives the madness of Nigerians is directly created by the madness of Nigeria.
