2027: Why I May Not Enter Political Alliance –Adebayo

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential candidate in 2023, Prince Adewole Adebayo has said there must be a meeting of minds before he joins any political alliance or coalition for the 2027 election.
Adebayo said he would rather remain in the opposition than join any political structure just so that he can be in power.

He said the President Bola Tinubu administration and that of Muhammadu Buhari are victims of political alliances without a common vision.

He said, “There must be a meeting of the mind. Power for power sake is a disgrace. You can see what happened to the Buhari fiasco. You can see what’s happening to the bunch who are there now. The first thing to do is a meeting of the mind.
“If you want to run a bank, you cannot form alliances with those who want to loot the bank. What you do is to see how to change their mind. I have been going round, sympathising with them and giving my opinion.

“I am not against them. I am against their ideas or lack of ideas. It is not that we want to be in government at all cost. I rather not be in government than be useless in government.

“What we are trying to do is to build alliances of all Nigerians. If you look at the number of people who voted for the people who scored the first 3 largest bunch of votes, they are not up to a minority of minorities.

“What we are trying to do is to see the majority of Nigerians who are suffering and get them to realise that there is a link between how you voted, or who you listen to, and the effect you have now.

“If we can now have a realisation, if its President Tinubu himself who realises he is missing his way and wants to queue up behind us, we don’t mind at all, but I am not going to say for the sake of coming to power, I will go and join people who are running the country aground. It is better to have an alternative to remind people of what the government should look like,” he said.
