The 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo, has revealed plans to strengthen the party to get more defectors ahead of the 2027 election.
Naijaonpoint reports that Adebayo stated this on Tuesday while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television.
Adebayo said he has informed the party of his intention to run for the presidency in 2027.
He emphasised that plans are ongoing to improve the quality of processes within the party to manage challenges arising from cultural clashes due to new members, and to ensure the party does not disappoint Nigerians.
He said, “I have informed my party, the SDP that I will be running for the presidency again in 2027 and everyone in my party knows that I’m contesting again.
“I am working with the party to strengthen it, invite more people into the party, and improve the quality of the processes within the party to manage the challenges of cultural clashes because of the new people coming into the party and see that the party does not disappoint Nigerians.
“The best prayer that can be offered is for the road to be rough because when your road is rough, you will enjoy and appreciate the destination when you get there.
“What we are trying to do is not to fake anything but to deal with issues. When the issues are external like government or other people, we deal with it. When the issues are internal, we don’t pretend, we deal with it.”
