The 2023 Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has said former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Malam Nasir el-Rufai and other opposition leaders that they cannot take control of the party in their fight against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Adebayo stated this on Monday night during the 50th birthday celebration of his wife, Queen Lillian Adebayo in Abuja.
He told them that SDP is not a “getaway car for a conspiracy and robbery”.
The former presidential hopeful declared that he will join the race for the 2027 presidential elections, adding that the SDP is not a platform for personal political battles.
“Of course, my party knows that I’m running for the 2027 election. As for the coalition, we are listening to them. We don’t want to be a getaway car for a conspiracy and robbery we did not plan. That’s not available.
“If the coalition is for the Nigerian people, the SDP is available. But if it is just a crime centre for disappointed Tinubu followers, they should go back to him and resolve their differences there. Don’t come to SDP to borrow us for a fight we are not involved in,” he added.
Adebayo asked Tinubu to o restrategise the security architecture to address insecurity in the country.
