Adewole Adebayo, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has declared that President Bola Tinubu will be removed from office in the 2027 elections.
Speaking on The Morning Show on Arise Television on Friday, Adebayo expressed confidence that his party, the SDP, would produce Nigeria’s next president.
“Tinubu is going to be removed from power, that one is sure, and there would be an SDP president,” he asserted.
Adebayo also reaffirmed his intention to contest the presidency in 2027, stating that he is confident he will secure the SDP ticket regardless of the political figures joining the party.
“Let us understand something. I don’t worry about that; everybody who is coming in knows I will run in 2027. Any coward who will feel threatened by people coming to his party cannot be president,” he stated.
His remarks come in the wake of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s defection to the SDP on Monday.
Since joining the party, El-Rufai has been making political moves to attract more politicians to the SDP.
Addressing El-Rufai’s defection, Adebayo described him as a “patriotic Nigerian, hardworking, and very effective in an area where we don’t have effective people in government.”
“The reason why I welcome El-Rufai to my party is that I see him as a patriotic Nigerian, hardworking, very effective in an area where we don’t have effective people in government, that’s all,” Adebayo added.
