Sdps Adebayo Willing To Step Down 2027 Presidential Ambition For Better Candidate

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party SDP, Adewole Adebayo, has stated that he is ready to forgo his 2027 presidential ambition if a more capable candidate emerges to lead the party.

Speaking on Inside Sources with Laolu Akande, a socio-political programme aired on Channels Television on Sunday, Adebayo emphasised that his priority is Nigerias progress, not personal ambition.

It is my prayer to God that if there is a person who God thinks is better than me to fix the problem of Nigeria, my ambition should not stop that person because we want a country that works, he said.

Adebayo assured that the SDP would present a credible candidate capable of challenging President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress APC in the next election. He stressed that the party would not engage in divisive politics based on religion or ethnicity.

Our goal is to ensure that when we make a choice in the SDP, Nigerians, even outside the party, will feel a sense of relief and say, Finally, this platform has given the country a real chance, he stated.
