Presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo, has stated that President Bola Tinubu has “defeated himself” ahead of the 2027 general election, insisting that the current administration is waiting to complete its four-year term.
Adebayo, who spoke in an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, argued that the Tinubu administration had failed to address poverty, insecurity and governance challenges, saying its performance had undermined the purpose of government.
He also called on Nigerians to focus on national issues rather than political personalities as campaigns gather momentum.
While expressing support for political cooperation, Adebayo said his priority was uniting Nigerians, not merely forming an opposition coalition.
He maintained that the outcome of the 2027 election would ultimately depend on voter participation and confidence in the electoral process.
