2023: Adebayo Emerges SDP Presidential Candidate, To Tackle Atiku, Tinubu

A prominent lawyer and media executive, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has emerged as the Social Democratic Party (SDP) 2023 presidential candidate.

Adebayo scored 1,526 votes to emerge as the party’s standard-bearer, defeating the only co-contestant, Khadija Lamidi, who polled 83 votes.

Naija News reports that Adebayo won the party’s presidential ticket at the SDP National Convention held on Wednesday in Abuja.

In his acceptance speech, Adebayo said that his emergence indicates that it was the turn of the Nigerian masses to take over power in 2023 and enjoy the dividends of democracy.

Adebayo pledged that the SDP would give the ruling party All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) a ‘good fight’ in the 2023 general elections.

He urged Nigerians to join the SDP, register with INEC to vote, open their minds, tell others about SDP and vote out bad leaders in 2023.

The presidential candidate thanked the other aspirants who contested the position with him, including those that withdrew along the way.

Adebayo thanked the SDP delegates for not going for money bags politicians or those who want to perpetually remain in power but voted for a fresh person.

He said that the SDP had demonstrated that a party could conduct credible convention and that politicians could subdue their personal interests for the national interest.

“We will campaign to every household, every polling unit, every ward, every local government, every state, every zone and the entire country.

“We will come out and show to Nigerians that food, water, electricity, housing, education and medical care are not prayer points,” he said.
