“Peter Obi knows about SDP very well, and it’s up to him to decide whether he wants to join or not. We only reach out to people who don’t know about the party.

“Obi is not new to us. He has interacted with the party before, and he understands it well,” Adebayo said.

The 2023 presidential candidate for the SDP, made a pointed remark about Obi’s history of switching political parties. Adebayo noted that Obi is experienced in this regard and would likely make his own decision if he were to leave his current party.

“You cannot teach Peter Obi how to change parties. He is an expert in that area. If he decides to come to SDP, the party will assess the situation. If he goes elsewhere, we won’t be bothered. And if he remains where he is, we also wish him well,” he added.

He reaffirmed his party’s openness to welcoming new members—including political heavyweights such as former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai.

Despite potential concerns over competition for his own presidential ambitions, Adebayo dismissed such fears, focusing instead on the importance of building a united front against bad governance in Nigeria.

“Our focus is on building a formidable political platform that addresses the concerns of Nigerians. Anyone who joins us will align with our manifesto and goals.

“We don’t speculate about politicians who are not in our party. Now that El-Rufai has joined, we can speak about him. If others come, we will also engage with them accordingly,” he stated.
