Former presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party PDP, Adewole Adebayo says he will not step down for former vice president, Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2027 election.
Adebayo disclosed this on Wednesday night during an interview on Channels TV following speculation that Atiku may use SDP as platform to run for the 2027 presidential election.
He clarified that Atiku or any other politicians can only join the party and follow due processes to secure the party’s ticket.
He said, “I will not step down for Atiku Abubakar and he has not said that anybody should step down for him.
“Neither me nor Atiku Abubakar can use the SDP. The party belongs to the Nigerian people, nobody can use it.
“What can happen is that those who believe in the ideology of the party can come to the party. We are not available to be used, if you want to join us, you can join us”;;.
DAILY POST reports that opposition bigwigs have resolved to come together via a coalition to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the coming election.
Atiku, former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi and former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-rufai are the notable figures spearheading the movement.
