Adewole Adebayo, the Social Democratic Party’s (SDP) presidential candidate in the general elections of 2023, claims that the party has no plans to combine or work with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) or any other party in advance of the 2027 elections.

Adebayo made this claim during a meeting with party state executive members on Saturday in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State.

Among others, the party chairman in Ogun, Oyo, Lagos, and former Sports Minister Solomon Dalung accompanied him on his tour.

Insinuations that his party is an extension of the APC were condemned by the former SDP presidential candidate, who stated that the party is still dedicated 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.

He said that while the SDP was open to sincere applicants, it was closed to those with dubious morals.

Ola Williams, the state’s party chairman, took advantage of the opportunity to greet sincere newcomers to the party.
