Nigerians, according to Prince Adebayo, are tired of both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) alleged misrule, which prompted the SDP to enter the fray. 


The SDP Presidential candidate maintained that his party is "in the race to lift Nigerians out of poverty," adding, "We are in the race because there are no good schools, no healthcare services, no roads."


“SDP is not in alliance with any political party. SDP is not stepping down for any political party, but if we have any political party that want to join us, they can join us. But, SDP is contesting this election,” he noted.


Prince Adebayo elaborated, ” we are not stepping down for any political party, because that will be a great betrayer to the people of Nigeria”.


“People are running away from PDP and APC, so if we disappoint them now, then we have taken them back to the people that are making them to suffer.
