He was also minister of communications from 2003 to 2006.

Adebayo was a staunch member of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) as pro-democracy activists sought to reclaim the mandate handed to MKO Abiola in the June 12, 1993 presidential election.

In 1993, Adebayo was offered a ministerial position in the Sani Abacha junta but declined.

On May 31, 1995, a bomb exploded in Ilorin, the Kwara capital.

The police arrested and grilled Adebayo and other members of NADECO over the incident.

He fled the country in 1996 for a brief exile in Canada as the junta reportedly closed in on him for a second time.
