Mrs Adebayo made this assertion known on Wednesday during an interview with journalists after an event in Abuja.

 

According to her, the opposition party has overcome its crisis after the expulsion of its former chairman, Shehu Gabam and others.

 

She said Nigerians should vote the APC out in the 2027 general election due to the hardship the party has plunged citizens into.

 

“There is always a crisis in the party; the SPD has been able to handle its own. The problems in the party have been resolved.

 

“He has a great chance of winning the election if Nigerians are honest with themselves. If Nigerians think that the ones they consistently vote for would move the country forward, they live in denial,” she concerning the husband.

 

Recall that SDP recently expelled Gabam and other party executives.

 

The party’s state chairmen on Wednesday urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the police to investigate Gabam over alleged misappropriation.
