SDP Challenges APC's By-election Wins, Eyes 2027 Elections
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has rejected the All Progressives Congress (APC) victory in four out of five by-elections, asserting that these results do not ensure the ruling party's success in the 2027 elections. Araba Rufus Aiyenigba, the SDP National Publicity Secretary, emphasized that the more significant contest is the Osun governorship election, which the APC lost despite alleged intimidation and federal influence.
Aiyenigba stated that the APC's claimed electoral successes in the by-elections are insufficient indicators of future victories, particularly in light of the Osun experience. He criticized Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo's assertion that the by-elections signal a clear path to 2027, labeling it as self-delusion.
Aiyenigba pointed out the ongoing issues of insecurity, poverty, and economic decline, arguing that the ultimate decision rests with the Nigerian populace, not government propaganda or statements from officials seeking to maintain their positions.
