2027: Adebayo Only Candidate to Present Comprehensive Manifesto, Pro-Democracy Coalition Says

The pro-democracy CountryFirst Movement coalition endorsed Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate Prince Adewole Adebayo for Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election. Convener Chris Mustapha Nwaokobia said that, after reviewing candidates’ programmes, Adebayo was the only one of the 18 listed by the electoral commission to submit a comprehensive manifesto; 10 others sent briefs lacking sufficient detail. The coalition said Adebayo’s manifesto runs to 117 printed pages and 138 electronic pages and sets out 12 priorities, including security, food security, electricity, affordable energy and jobs. It called for practical policies and measurable timelines to address Nigeria’s challenges.
