The wife of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) 2023 presidential candidate, Mrs. Lilian Adebayo has said that her husband, Prince Adewole Adebayo, will be on the ballot for the country’s highest office in 2027.
She also foreclosed any plan by her husband to dump the SDP for any other opposition party to actualise his presidential ambition in 2027.
Adebayo spoke in Abuja shortly after receiving an award of honour from the Forum of SDP State Chairmen led by Lagos Chairman, Hon. Femi Olaniyi (Ferrari),
She emphasised her husband’s readiness to serve, noting that his consistency and passion for the SDP demonstrate his vision for a better Nigeria.
“Prince Adewole Adebayo is not just in politics for ambition; he is in it for service. And if Nigerians will be true to themselves, he can defeat anybody in 2027,” she asserted.
Assuring the sub-national party leaders of her husband’s unshakable loyalty to the party, Mrs. Adebayo said the 2023 presidential candidate would not jump ship to another political party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
She maintained that her husband has been a consistent member of the party since his teenage years and has resisted pressure to defect to bigger parties despite numerous offers.
“My husband, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has often said publicly that he joined the SDP at the age of 19 and has never left. He had several opportunities to move to other parties, including the PDP but he chose to remain in the SDP. By the grace of God, in the next election, he is still going to be there. He’s not leaving SDP for another party whatsoever,” she said.
Commending the party’s conflict resolution mechanism, Mrs. Adebayo also applauded the leadership for effectively managing the party.
