2027: No plan to form merger with APC, others – SDP’s Adebayo

The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, in the 2023 general elections, Adewole Adebayo, says the SDP is not making any plan for merger or collaboration with the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, or any party ahead of the 2027 elections.Adebayo stated this in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, at a meeting with members of the state executive of the party on Saturday.He was accompanied during his visit by a former Sports Minister, Solomon Dalung, as well as the party’s chairman in Ogun, Oyo, Lagos, among others.The former SDP presidential candidate denounced insinuations of his party, as an appendage of the APC, saying that the party remains committed to the welfare and well-being of all Nigerians.“Maybe APC has appendicitis, they should go to the hospital to kill it. We are a strong party. We are older than any of the parties available. Our mission is clear: we are not in government with them.“I led the party in the last election. I’m still standing here. I’m not a minister under Tinubu, all the State Chairman, the National Chairman are intact, National Secretary. So, we are standing on our own.“The reason people look down on us is because we don’t attack people to tackle issues, because our party is a party of intellect. We are the only party that’s a little to the left. Having been a little to the left since we came in 1989 we remain so.“The problems of Nigeria can only be found with solutions on the left, which is that chapter two of the Constitution, invest money in education, in housing, in healthcare, good infrastructure, let Nigerians live what chief Obafemi Awolowo called a life more abundant,” he said.According to him, the SDP was open to genuine entrants but not to people of questionable character.The chairman of the party in the state, Ola Williams, seized the occasion to welcome genuine new members into the party.
