The 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), ADEWOLE ADEBAYO, says he is willing to step down his presidential ambition in the 2027 elections for a better politician to emerge as the flag bearer of his party.
ADEBAYO, who made this known during an interview, assured that the party would give Nigerians a candidate that all citizens would be proud of and be ready to unseat President BOLA TINUBU of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next presidential election.
The politician added that the SDP won’t divide Nigerians along the delicate lines of religion and ethnicity.
Ahead of the 2027 polls, talks about an inter-party alliance reached a climax on Thursday, March 20, 2025, when opposition arrowhead ATIKU ABUBAKAR, alongside former Anambra governor PETER OBI, ex-Kaduna governor NASIR EL-RUFAI, amongst others, announced a coalition to oust incumbent TINUBU, whose administration has been accused of mismanaging the economy, with all-time high inflation and unprecedented cost of living.
