Adewole Adebayo, the former Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential candidate, asserted that President Bola Tinubu’s ouster from office is already assured by 2027.
Adebayo further asserted that the next Nigerian president will be produced by his party, the SDP.
He made this claim on Friday while answering questions on the Morning Show program on Arise Television.
The announcement was made a few days after Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, joined the SDP.
El-Rufai is a hardworking and patriotic Nigerian, according to Adebayo, who also said that the former governor is highly effective in a field where there aren’t many capable leaders.
He said: “The reason why I welcome El-Rufai to my party is that I see him as a patriotic Nigerian, hard working, very effective in an area where we don’t have effective people in government, that’s all.
“Tinubu is going to be removed from power, that one is sure, and there will be an SDP president.
It is not inside our party, as a coalition, and so forth. Perhaps they are in the middle of a conversation outdoors and feel comfortable enough to come to the SDP and attempt to work there. However, we continue to follow our program in SDP.
“We knew that when they were ganging up and going to Chatham House they will not last. We knew that when they started sharing the spoil of office, they will be scattered. We knew that the programs that all of them had will not work for the people out there, they will lose popularity.
“So we started preparing our party. We have no crisis and started managing our party. When they were offering position we didn’t want to join them. We remained where we are, keep talking to the people. Many more will join us as the year goes by”.
