SDP Unveils Campaign Council To Drive 2027 Victory

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) on Wednesday unveiled its National Campaign Council (NCC) for the 2027 general elections at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.

National Chairman, Professor Sadiq Umar Abubakar Gombe, who performed the unveiling, said the event marked a decisive transition from political preparation to structured electoral engagement.

Gombe said the 2027 elections represent a defining moment for Nigeria, as the nation faces insecurity, economic hardship, unemployment, poverty and declining confidence in governance.

He said the council was designed to bring together the party’s campaign structures and those of the presidential candidate into one coordinated, disciplined and results-oriented framework.

Gombe said the campaign architecture would cover the national, zonal, state, local government, ward and polling unit levels, with clearly defined responsibilities and measurable results.

He stressed that the quest for victory must be pursued through lawful, peaceful and democratic means, with an issue-based and people-centred campaign rooted in the Constitution, the Electoral Act and INEC guidelines.

Gombe disclosed that the SDP is the only party with a comprehensive manifesto, which has been translated into major Nigerian languages and produced in audio form for broadcast across 109 radio stations covering all 109 senatorial districts.

He added that the party was working with other progressive opposition parties to promote credible, free, fair and transparent elections, and to protect the independence of electoral institutions.

“Our mission is clear: to build a strong, united and nationwide political organisation capable of delivering electoral success for the Social Democratic Party at all levels in the 2027 General Elections,” Gombe said.

Adebayo, in his remarks, praised party candidates across the states for their sacrifice, noting that many had endured hardship to keep the party’s structures alive.

He condemned the reported removal of opposition posters in Adamawa State, describing it as a sign of dictatorship and insisting that every citizen must be allowed to share ideas freely.

Adebayo said he agreed with all the speeches delivered before his arrival, endorsed the choice of the campaign leadership, and reaffirmed his support for a united SDP.

He urged members to unite, vote for a country that cares for its people, and build a Nigeria that future generations would be proud of.

“We will build a country that will be proud of us,” Adebayo said.
