Tinubu Expresses Interest in Running as PDP, SDP, and LP Presidential Candidate in 2027 – Adebayo

The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Prince Adewole, has claimed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu intends to run as the sole presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and SDP simultaneously.

These allegations were made in a statement released by the SDP spokesperson, Alabi Alayande, on Friday.

According to the spokesperson, President Tinubu’s involvement in the affairs of opposition parties, even after securing the APC presidential ticket, poses a danger to Nigeria’s democracy.

He urged Nigerians to oppose President Tinubu and his anti‑democratic tendencies ahead of the 2027 election.

Adebayo also criticized the pursuit of power by Nigerian politicians, noting that citizens continue to suffer from poverty and hardship.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not content with being the APC presidential candidate. He wants to be the presidential candidate of the APC, PDP, Labour, and SDP,” the SDP spokesperson said.

“The greed for money has been detected. But the greed for the soul of the country—that’s one we cannot allow. That is why WE IN THE SDP are going to contest the presidential election taking place in January 2027 with me as your flag bearer,” he added.

Prince Adewole was selected as the SDP presidential candidate during the national convention and primaries held on May 9 in Bauchi, Nigeria.
