The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo, has alleged that President Bola Tinubu has the capacity to “produce his own votes” in the forthcoming elections.
Adebayo made the remark during an interview on Politics Hub, a programme on Vanguard, while speaking on preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections and his party’s readiness.
He further described Tinubu as effectively controlling the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
According to him, “Since the last election, we continue to visit people wherever they are because Tinubu can produce his own votes because he’s the INEC chairman himself.
“We need to go back to our people the same way our leaders in the First Republic did. You needed to see Obafemi Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Nnamdi Azikiwe. When these people went for campaign, dust covered their bodies.
“I do everything to cover everywhere in Nigeria. I know the deficiency. I know where people are, and I know that you need to go and meet them where they are.”
