SDP Women Leader Hails Adebayo’s INEC Recognition, Urges Unity

The National Speaker of the Women Parliament of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Ambassador Hajiya Sa’adatu Abdullahi, has said the publication of Prince Adewole Adebayo’s name by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the party’s presidential candidate has reinforced the SDP’s readiness to offer Nigerians a credible alternative in the forthcoming presidential election.

Abdullahi, in a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja, described the development as a significant milestone for the party. She said it reflects the commitment of the National Working Committee (NWC) and strengthens confidence in the party’s leadership and internal democratic process.

“The official publication of the party’s presidential ticket, comprising Prince Adewole Adebayo and his running mate, Dr. Usman Mohammed Bugaje, underscores the SDP’s preparedness to present Nigerians with leadership founded on good governance, social justice, economic prosperity, and the rule of law,” she said.

According to her, the party remains convinced that Adebayo possesses the character, competence, and vision required to address the nation’s challenges and provide purposeful leadership capable of driving national renewal.

She also commended INEC for conducting the nomination process in line with the principles of fairness, transparency, and due process.
Abdullahi noted that the growing acceptance of the SDP across the country reflects Nigerians’ desire for a credible political alternative committed to integrity, inclusiveness, and people-centred governance.

She urged women, youths, party members, and supporters to remain united, intensify grassroots mobilisation, promote issue-based campaigns, and effectively communicate the SDP’s vision for a peaceful, prosperous, and inclusive Nigeria.

The SDP women leader also appealed to Nigerians to pray for Prince Adebayo, asking God to grant him wisdom, strength, good health, and divine guidance as he prepares for the task ahead.
