The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo, has alleged that President Bola Tinubu possesses the capacity to generate votes for himself without external assistance.

Adebayo made the assertion while speaking during an interview on Politics Hub, a programme aired by Vanguard.

In his remarks, the SDP chieftain controversially described the President as the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He made the comments while discussing preparations for the 2027 general elections and assessing his party’s readiness for the contest.

According to Adebayo, concerns remain about the level of influence the ruling establishment could wield ahead of the next election cycle.

He suggested that the political environment presents unique challenges for opposition parties as they prepare to confront the incumbent administration at the polls.

The SDP presidential candidate maintained that his party remains focused on strengthening its structures and mobilising support despite the perceived obstacles.

Adebayo also stressed that the party is committed to presenting an alternative vision to Nigerians as preparations for the 2027 elections gather momentum.

He said, “Since the last election, we continue to visit people wherever they are because Tinubu can produce his own votes because he’s the INEC chairman himself.

“We need to go back to our people the same way our leaders in the first Republic did. You needed to see Obafemi Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Nnamdi Azikiwe. When these people went for campaign, dust covered covered their bodies.

“I do everything to cover everywhere in Nigeria. I know the deficiency. I know where people are, and I know that you need to go and meet the them where they are.”

His remarks come amid increasing political activities and realignments across the country as political parties position themselves for the next presidential contest.
