The Social Democratic Party (SDP) on Sunday said that the endorsement of Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, by former President Olusegun Obasanjo was of no effect as it would not affect the chances of its Presidential Candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo.

This was contained in a statement signed and released on Sunday, January 1, 2022 by the SDP National Publicity Secretary / Director, Media and Publicity, National Campaign Council, Ambassador Rufus Aiyenigba.

Aiyenigba said Prince Adebayo undeniably meets the Southern Presidency advocacy of many as led by the former president and many other prominent National Leaders.

According to him, “Prince Adewole Adebayo undeniably meets the Southern presidency advocacy of many as led by the former president and many other prominent national leaders. Adebayo meets the boundless and essential energy requirement for the top job; he meets the requirements of deep grasps of transformational leadership and development issues; vision and soundness of mind, as well as the character and integrity quotient as listed.

“Adebayo is more youth- friendly in practical terms, considering the hundreds of jobs he has created through his various businesses and enterprises, as well as the huge verifiable number of young Nigerians he has empowered, still empowering and mentored and still mentoring.

“With this development, it’s therefore, getting crystal clear that the contest, is going to be a two-horse race between Prince Adewole Adebayo and Peter Obi, because they are both emblematic of the new realities of the need for a new generation of young leaders for our country and also the strongly evolving national quest for a new Nigeria – a nation that will be anchored on innovative, resources, honest and good leadership which will ultimately engender a good Nigerian society.”

This came as Chairman of the SDP Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam said that the Coming Presidential election would usher in the most visionary president in Nigerian history.

In his new year message to Nigerians he said that at the moment, Nigerians were suffering as the economy was suffocating.

He urged all to work together to produce a leader that would ensure peace unity equity throughout the country.
