DERA - Monday, August 03, 2026

Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential candidate, Adewole Adebayo, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu has “defeated himself” ahead of the 2027 general election.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Adebayo argued that the Tinubu administration is already outgoing, noting that it is only waiting to complete its four-year term.

He criticised the government’s handling of poverty, insecurity, and governance challenges, saying its performance has undermined the purpose of leadership.

“With all these insecurity, hunger and bad economy, President Tinubu has already defeated himself. His administration is outgoing,” Adebayo said.

The SDP candidate urged Nigerians to focus on national issues rather than political personalities as campaigns intensify. He explained that his priority was uniting Nigerians, not merely forming an opposition coalition.

Adebayo also stressed that the outcome of the 2027 election would depend on voter participation and confidence in the electoral process.
