The All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN) has commended the Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, for his 2025 mega empowerment and economic support programme for residents.
AFAN described Adelabu as a promise keeper, saying the continued commitment of the minister towards liberating the masses, particularly farmers across Oyo State through the Bayo Adelabu Foundation (BAF), cannot be overemphasised.
A statement by AFAN Chairman in Oyo State, Engr. Olumide Ayinla, confirmed that all beneficiaries of the empowerment scheme, particularly farmers in the state, have received their financial support as promised by the minister.
He described Adelabu as a leader whose words carry action, saying Adelabu has maintained a consistent record of practical support for agricultural growth across the state.
Ayinla recalled that a few months ago, Adelabu donated truckloads of fertilisers to farmers across the state, a gesture which, according to him, has boosted farm productivity, reduced financial burden, and motivated more active crop cultivation.
He stated that the latest empowerment by Adelabu was a continuation of sincere, impactful assistance, not politics, not propaganda, but direct intervention that touches lives.
He said, “For years now, Chief Adelabu has proven that he understands the heartbeat of the grassroots, particularly farmers, and has never stopped supporting the agricultural value chain with real resources, not empty speeches.
“The Bayo Adelabu Foundation is rewriting the story of sustainable empowerment in Oyo State.”
Ayinla, however, prayed for Adelabu’s political ambition, saying a leader who uplifts people also deserves to rise.
“We prayed that God will continue to strengthen him to do more for humanity, the farming community, and the future of Oyo State.
