Tinubu, Atiku, Obi Will Collapse Under Their Own Weight — SDP’s Adewole

The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo, has said he is confident of victory in a free, fair, and credible 2027 election. Adebayo said that other candidates like President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar of the Africa Democratic Party (ADC) and Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Party (NDC) will fall under their own weight.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, he said that his manifesto, Farewell to Poverty and Insecurity, is a pathway to progress and good governance that can be deployed to improve the lives of Nigerians “They will collapse under their own weight; that is not the issue. What I want to defeat is poverty and insecurity.

“But to defeat that, you need to defeat ignorance in people going to just vote based on sentiment or looking for something,” Adebayo said. “You also have to defeat lethargy where people get tired, ‘Oh, my vote doesn’t count. You also have to defeat apathy. “So, once we do that, we will defeat anybody. When we say defeat, it’s not a wrestling match; it’s about convincing the majority of your fellow citizens to believe in this plan.

To say this plan is going to work.” Adebayo says his manifesto will improve the lives of Nigerians. According to him, fixing the government will fix the security challenges in the country. The SDP candidate said that Nigerians should not see terrorists anymore in six months, given the capacity of the Nigerian Armed Forces. Adewole promises to address banditry, saying that citizens will get security as a Christmas present in 2027.

The presidential election is scheduled to be held on January 16, 2027.
