SDP Presidential Candidate Says Party Won’t Boycott Polls

Presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Prince Adewole Adebayo has said the party will not join other opposition parties to boycott the presidential election.

Adebayo who described SDP as the major party, said they are working hard to win the polls as such they do not see reason to boycott the election.

Recall that the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties chairmen and candidates for the 2023 Election slated for February 25, rejected alleged plans by some people to force the Central Bank of Nigeria to suspend the ongoing Naira Redesign Policy.

The political parties’ chairmen and their candidates stated this on Monday at a joint news conference addressed by their Spokesperson, Kenneth Udeze, who is also the Chairman of Action Alliance.

They threatened to pull out of the election if the apex bank was forced to succumb to pressure and blackmail and suspend the policy.

Taking to his twitter handle, he said “Social Democratic Party SDP is committed to contesting Presidential, National and State elections slated for February and March 2023.

“SDP, a major political party with credible and popular candidates working hard for victory is NOT part of any ‘13 parties’ threatening a boycott,” he said.
