“People are joining my party, and we are welcoming them. You can see how active I am in welcoming them,” Adebayo said.

“Some of them are involved in Boy Scout-like activities and black market operations, but we are dealing with that. However, we welcome them into the party.

“All these people you have mentioned; El-Rufai, Atiku Abubakar, and even former Governor Peter Obi, are coming. A lot of people are coming, and we will welcome them.

“Until somebody actually joins, we don’t know. But people have told me, and the Financial Secretary (SDP) has also informed me, that they are talking. So we will welcome everybody.”

“If they can stick to our culture and follow the way we do things in the SDP, and produce a good alternative for Nigerians, we are going to manifestly defeat the APC and retire President Tinubu to Lagos or wherever he chooses in Nigeria,” he added.
