The wife of the former presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, in 2023 presidential election, Queen Lillian Adebayo has predicted victory for her husband, Prince Adewale Adebayo in the 2027 presidential election.

Queen Lillian Adebayo, who spoke shortly after the Forum of State Chairmen of the Social Democratic Party honoured her with an award of Excellence in Abuja, charged Nigerian electorate to be sincere with themselves to change the current situation in the country through the ballots.

She said Nigerians who are at the receiving ends of the bad policies and governance of the All Progressives Congress, APC’s led central government should be firmed and act accordingly when the opportunity comes.

The 2027 presidential election according to Queen Lillian offered the masses of this country the best opportunity to rescue themselves by make the wise decision of electing her husband, whom she described as young, vibrant, intelligent and has capacity to lead the country as president.

Queen Lillian was optimistic that her husband, Prince Adewale Adebayo will defeat the incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should he decides to seek reelection under his party, APC in 2027.

She insisted Prince Adebayo remains the most credible and capable option for Nigerians ahead of the 2027 elections.

Queen Lilian praised her husband’s unwavering loyalty to the SDP, adding his consistency in upholding the party’s values sets him apart from political figures who switch parties for personal gain.

According to her, “Prince Adewole Adebayo has been a member of the SDP since he was 19. He had opportunities to join other parties like the PDP and APC, but he never did. He stayed committed to the SDP, and by the grace of God, he’s not leaving for any other party.”

Describing her husband as a young, vibrant, and honest leader, Queen Lilian said he has the vision and competence to rebuild Nigeria’s failing systems and restore public trust in governance
.
“If Nigerians are honest with themselves, my husband has a great chance. We’ve had presidents come and go without any real change. Nigerians need to stop voting for the same kind of people and expecting a different result,” she said.

Highlighting the need for courage and discernment among voters in 2027, she noted, “Prince Adebayo is capable, active, and young. He can move this country to greater heights if Nigerians vote for the person they truly know can deliver.”

On whether her husband could defeat a sitting president, she emphasized that the outcome depends on voters’ honesty and courage.

“That’s why Nigerians need to be truthful with themselves. What have they benefited so far from the current administration? People are still suffering. If Nigerians are sincere, they know exactly what to do.”

Commenting on recent crises within the SDP, Queen Lilian expressed confidence that the party has overcome its internal challenges.

“Every party has its share of crises. The SDP has handled its issues maturely. All conflicts have been resolved, peace has returned, and the party will emerge stronger,” she assured.

She also weighed in on women’s representation in politics, advocating for more seats for women in the National Assembly, saying:

“Women bring compassion, fairness, and emotional balance to leadership. If we want balanced leadership, more women should be given opportunities.”

Rejecting the notion that women do not support each other, she added:
“Women do support women. I was happy to see the only female state chairman at the meeting, and I gave her a hug. If she decides to contest, I’ll support her because she shares my values.”

Reflecting on the award she received, Queen Lilian described it as a reminder of unity and strength within the SDP family, while reaffirming her husband’s dedication to the party and Nigeria.

“This award means a lot. It shows that loyalty, dedication, and integrity are recognized. Prince Adebayo will continue to stand by the SDP and by Nigeria.”
