Adebayo: Tinubu Doesn't Need 2027 Election Win

Adebayo, the leader of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), expressed that President Bola Tinubu does not have to win the 2027 election during an event in Abuja on Thursday. He highlighted the significance of the upcoming general election, which is expected to have the highest voter participation rate in Nigeria's history.

Adebayo criticized Tinubu's comments made during an Iftar gathering at the presidential villa, where he suggested that political leaders should remember that ultimate power rests with God. Adebayo urged that the decision to participate in elections should be left to the Nigerian populace and warned against a mindset that seeks to manipulate electoral laws for personal gain.

He called on the president to reflect on these issues during the holy month of Ramadan, ensuring that Nigerians ultimately determine the winner of the next election.
