The Social Democratic Party has said that the APC will fall in 2027, the same way the PDP failed in 2015.
The party recently revealed that the 2027 election will not be between PDP and APC, it’ll be about Nigeria vs APC.
Speaking during an interview, the Ebonyi State Chairman of SDP, Dr Kingsley Agbor, said that Nigerians will seek and find SDP when they search for an organized party to put their faith in ahead of the next elections.
According to him, while people are fond of saying that it is impossible to unseat the incumbent government, PDP’s failure in 2015 has already proven that such a notion is wrong, and history will repeat itself with APC in 2027.
Kingsley stated that David Umahi’s claim that those championing the coalition against President Tinubu will fail is merely a distraction, and he is only saying what he needs to say as minister.
“The 2027 election is not going to be between PDP or any party and APC, it is going to be Nigeria and APC, and they are looking for a very organised platform. That platform we have is SDP. We are fully ready. Like I told you, we are going underground. If I tell you the number of supporters we have, you will be amazed. Whatever thing we are doing now, we are fully ready. You will be surprised at the kind of people that will emerge — that will pick up SDP tickets. They might not be the popular people you know every day. No! We are getting hardcore people who have travelled far and wide,” he said.
He further noted that nobody believed it was going to happen to PDP when it did, and that will be the same way APC’s defeat will shock everyone in the forthcoming polls.
He concluded by saying that the same Umahi who is waxing lyrical about Tinubu would be the first to defect back to SDP once BAT is defeated.
“Now, you see that he has the arrogance and free will to say anything he wants to say. But I want to tell you what El-Rufai told us. He said in 2013, when they were regrouping into APC to unseat PDP, all they heard was, “You can’t remove an incumbent government, he has control of the police, INEC is in his pocket, he has all the money.” But he said, “Will you allow yourself to get distracted?” They said all the answers they gave to them, they appreciated and said ‘thank you’ and went underground. They were told they were wasting their time. He said six months into that election, they were very sure they had won because all they needed to do, they had done.
They went door-to-door and saw that Nigerians had already changed their minds. I’m not surprised about what he (Umahi) said; he is the current Minister of Works and can say all he needs to say. But I want to assure you that just as it happened in 2015, nobody believed it was going to happen because they were working underground. I want to assure you that it will happen. When it happens now, unfortunately, and disappointingly, people like David Umahi will be among the first to defect back to SDP, so, that he will take power. It is very unfortunate,” he added.
