Nigeria’s opposition Social Democratic Party, SDP, has officially unveiled its presidential campaign council ahead of the 2027 election.
The chairman of the party, Abubakar Sadiq Gombe, unveiled the council at an event in Abuja on Wednesday.
Gombe, who also serves as the chairman of the council, said Nigeria stands at a defining moment when citizens need to unite to unseat incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on January 16, 2027.
He charged members of the SDP campaign council to deliver electoral success for the party.
“Let us approach this election with the seriousness it deserves to unseat President Tinubu,” he stated.
The council comprises 12,000 members, with Yususa Tanko, former coordinator of the Obidient Movement and a supporter of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, serving as its national coordinator.
The SDP presidential candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo, is among the 17 presidential candidates seeking to replace Tinubu in 2027.
