Adebayo-Bugaje Campaign Backs Protests, Promises N200 Petrol If Elected In 2027

ABUJA — The Adewole Adebayo-Bugaje Presidential Campaign Council has thrown its weight behind the ongoing nationwide anti-government protests, urging disgruntled citizens to channel their grievances into political power at the ballot box next year.

Speaking at a press briefing in the Federal Capital Territory on Monday, September 21, 2026, the campaign’s Chief Communications Adviser, Comrade Mark Adebayo, warned that a political mistake returning the current administration in 2027 could see petrol prices skyrocket to N5,000 per litre.

Adebayo condemned the economic policies of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, citing the crushing reality of current fuel prices fluctuating between N1,500 and N2,000 across the country. Describing the current dispensation as a “regime of suffering and sorrow,” the campaign strategist declared that merely chanting on the streets would not fix Nigeria’s structural and economic failures.

“Voting President Tinubu out is only the first step,” Adebayo stated. “If we vote out a failed system only to replace it with another version of the same ruinous political class, we will find ourselves back on the streets protesting a few years from now.”

Presenting the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo, as the only contender with “absolutely no baggage of scandal,” the campaign outlined a bold blueprint to crash petrol pump prices to under N200 per litre.

According to the campaign, an SDP-led presidency will implement a revolutionary 50-50 crude oil swapping arrangement with local public and private refineries. Under this framework, the government will supply crude oil free of charge to private refineries. In exchange, the refineries will process half of that allocation for the government at no cost, allowing the state to distribute highly affordable fuel to the public.

The campaign council challenged media platforms to invite Prince Adebayo to defend his economic projections, adding that its teams will soon hit the streets, towns, and villages across Nigeria with a message of “Farewell to Poverty and Insecurity.”
