SDP's Adebayo: Nigeria Needs Fresh Leaders, Not Expired Elites
Prince Adewole Adebayo, former SDP presidential candidate, declares Nigeria requires new leaders with fresh ideas to escape economic stagnation, not 'expired political elites' who have 'sunk the country.' Speaking ahead of 2027 elections, he criticizes APC's dominance through retained governors and ADC's merger, arguing democracy depends on voter sentiment, not incumbent counts. Adebayo emphasizes SDP's focus on ideological redirection, credible elections via electronic transmission, and new political entrants over 'rotten eggs' in current parties. He stresses Nigerians need leaders addressing insecurity, poverty, and injustice, not personality-driven politics. 'We need patriotic citizens with integrity to enter politics,' he states, contrasting SDP's approach with APC's 'flash in the pan' strategy.
