Adebayo urges Nigerians to reject APC in 2027, citing economic crisis
DDM News

Prince Adewole Adebayo, the leader of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has called on Nigerians to vote against the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.
He stated that this is the only way to rescue the country from its current economic and social turmoil as reported by Diaspora Digital Media (DDM).
Adebayo strongly criticized the administration of President Bola Tinubu, arguing that it has failed to improve citizens’ standard of living.
Adebayo, a lawyer and politician, has long been vocal about issues plaguing Nigeria.
As the SDP presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, he campaigned on economic reform, security, and social welfare.
He warned during the 2023 election cycle that Nigerians would face worsening economic conditions if APC remained in power.
Now, two years later, he asserts that his predictions have unfortunately come true.
The SDP leader lamented that the APC-led government has not effectively tackled fundamental problems such as food shortages and rising insecurity.
He also pointed out poor education and an inadequate healthcare system as major failures of the administration.
According to Adebayo, Nigeria should have moved past these struggles and be addressing more advanced developmental challenges by 2025.
Instead, the country remains stuck in hardship, which he attributes to the incompetence of the current administration.
In his statement, Adebayo emphasized the importance of the 2027 elections.
He urged Nigerians to take the opportunity to make a significant change in governance.
He warned that ignoring the warnings of the SDP again would only prolong the suffering of the people.
He stressed that voters need to elect a government capable of addressing the nation’s deep-rooted problems.
Adebayo criticized the economic policies of the APC government.
He argued that they have failed to create jobs, curb inflation, or stabilize the economy.
He pointed out that the cost of living has skyrocketed under President Tinubu’s leadership.
It has become increasingly difficult for ordinary Nigerians to afford basic necessities.
He argued that a competent government would have resolved these issues by now.
He highlighted the failures in security, stating that the government has not done enough to protect Nigerians from kidnappings and banditry.
He said a responsible administration would prioritize safety and implement strategic policies to ensure national security.
The APC-led government’s failure to combat these threats, he said, is another reason Nigerians must seek a leadership change.
Adebayo also pointed out the worsening state of education and healthcare in Nigeria.
He noted that schools lack basic infrastructure, teachers are underpaid, and students face numerous learning challenges.
Similarly, he argued that the healthcare sector is struggling with inadequate facilities and poor funding.
He mentioned a shortage of medical professionals as a significant issue that needs urgent attention.
These issues, he said, should not persist in a country with Nigeria’s resources.
Reflecting on his party’s stance before the 2023 elections, Adebayo reminded Nigerians that SDP had warned about continuing with the APC government.
He noted that many of the problems he predicted have now become a reality.
Citizens are suffering due to ineffective leadership, he said.
He urged voters to learn from the past and make a more informed decision in the next election cycle.
Adebayo addressed concerns about leadership succession and suggested that President Tinubu should step aside.
He stated that a more competent administration should take over the reins of government.
He said, “Now, you must listen because you have an opportunity to escape this crisis by removing the APC from power.”
He continued, “Allow President Tinubu to retire and enjoy his old age.”
He added that Nigeria must establish a competent government to solve these problems.
He argued that these issues should not even be problems in the first place.
He reiterated his belief that Nigeria can overcome its challenges if governed properly.
He urged citizens to prioritize leadership that is capable of making effective policies.
He emphasized the need for reforms that would uplift the nation.
According to Adebayo, a government that genuinely cares for the people will solve pressing issues rather than make empty promises.
As the 2027 elections approach, Adebayo called on Nigerians to be vigilant in their political choices.
He encouraged the electorate to scrutinize candidates and political parties thoroughly.
He urged them to elect leaders who have the nation’s best interests at heart.
He emphasized that the SDP remains committed to offering credible alternatives to Nigeria’s problems.
In conclusion, Adebayo reaffirmed his position that the only way to bring real change is to remove APC from power.
He urged Nigerians to unite in their demand for competent leadership.
He stated that the country deserves better governance and leadership.
According to him, the 2027 elections present a crucial opportunity for Nigeria to correct its course.
He emphasized that Nigeria must build a brighter future for all citizens.
