By Prince Adewole Adebayo, has declared that his party will defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election. He claimed that the SDP has learned from the failures of both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Adebayo criticized the ruling APC and the opposition PDP, accusing them of corruption, vote-buying, and imposing unpopular candidates. He assured that the SDP operates differently, saying, “What we don’t do in our party is bribe delegates or breach the rules. If you win, we support you. If you lose, we support another person.”
He also slammed Tinubu’s administration, arguing that it lacks the vision to lead Nigeria effectively. According to him, the current government is more focused on personal gains while the people suffer. He predicted that APC would soon lose popularity, making SDP a strong alternative in 2027.
Adebayo further stated that his party has remained united while others are dealing with internal conflicts. “When they were offering positions, we didn’t join them. We kept talking to the people. Many more will join us as the year rolls by,” he said, expressing confidence in SDP’s growing influence.
On former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s defection to the SDP, Adebayo acknowledged him as a valuable asset. He assured that the party remains fair and open to all, saying, “Everybody who loves Nigeria is welcome. We cannot question their motives.”
He reiterated that the SDP is building a strong foundation based on integrity and rule of law, unlike other parties. With these principles, he believes the party is on track to remove Tinubu from power in 2027.
