The wife of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Prince Adewale Adebayo, has declared that her husband will defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 presidential election if Nigerians “are true to themselves.”
Speaking with journalists after an event in Abuja on Wednesday, Mrs. Lilian Adebayo expressed optimism that Nigerians have grown tired of the hardship under the APC-led administration and are ready for change.
“He has a great chance of winning the election if Nigerians are honest with themselves. If Nigerians think that the ones they consistently vote for will move the country forward, they live in denial,” she said.
Lilian also addressed internal issues within the SDP, confirming that the party had successfully overcome its internal crisis following the expulsion of former National Chairman Shehu Gabam and other officials.
“There is always a crisis in the party; the SDP has been able to handle its own. The problems in the party have been resolved,” she added.
She further urged Nigerians to “vote out” the APC in 2027, insisting that the party has “plunged the country into unnecessary hardship” since assuming power.
Meanwhile, state chairmen of the SDP have called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigeria Police Force to investigate Shehu Gabam over alleged financial mismanagement during his tenure.
