  • Says he won’t want to be distracted

Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Zacch Adelabu Adedeji has stated that he won’t join the race to replace Seyi Makinde as the next governor of Oyo State in 2027.

Adedeji who had previously held cabinet position in Oyo State (Commissioner for Finance 2011-2015) has been mentioned as one of the prominent personalities likely to fill the position.

He, however, in a recent outing dispelled having such ambition, saying he only wants to focus on the task before him at the moment.

He said, “I want to use this to respond to a lot of requests, I, Zacch Adedeji will not contest for governorship election in 2027.

“I know a lot of people would not be happy about this, but everybody knows the responsibility and grace that God has given to us. I was commissioner of finance 14 years ago. And by that time, with the grace of God, we’ve done all of what God wants us to do in the state.

“He has given us that platform. So the only thing I need from you is your prayers for strength to end well with what I’m doing now. So I would not want to be distracted’. He concluded in the clip

Adedeji was appointed by President Bola Tinubu in September 2023 to head the FIRS.
