Adebayo, who also serves as the South-West Coordinator of the OK Movement, revealed this in a video shared on her official X account. She claimed to have received intelligence that certain individuals were planning to prevent the NDC from appearing on the ballot for Surulere I Federal Constituency, urging the INEC chairman to take notice. Adebayo also alleged that a similar occurrence took place during the 2023 general elections, alleging that the Labour Party was removed from the ballot during the House of Representatives election in Surulere I due to collusion between the Labour candidate and the APC. She emphasized that nothing was done to rectify this situation, but she warned that the NDC would not be allowed to repeat this experience, calling on party leadership and Nigerians to be vigilant against such a plot.",
