SDP's Sharafdeen Ibrahim Vows to Cut Petrol Prices to N200

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kwara State, led by chairman Alhaji Sharafdeen Ibrahim, has committed to reducing petrol prices to N200 per litre if they win the 2027 general elections. This announcement was made during the commissioning of the party's new secretariat in Ilorin.

Ibrahim criticized the Federal Government's removal of fuel subsidies, stating it has led to increased petrol prices and diminished purchasing power for Nigerians. He also expressed concerns over the government's agricultural policies, highlighting the challenges faced by farmers due to rising production costs and insufficient support.

Ibrahim called for a shift away from established political figures, advocating for "new hands" in governance. He emphasized that the SDP aims to represent the interests of ordinary citizens, including workers and market traders.

The event was attended by key party figures, including the SDP's 2027 presidential candidate Adewole Adebayo and other candidates, as part of efforts to strengthen the party's structure ahead of the upcoming elections.
