 Prince Adewole Adebayo, the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has said that if the policing system in Nigeria was effective, half of those in government should be behind bars. Prince Adebayo stated this during the second series of presidential town hall meetings organised by ARISE TV in collaboration with the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD).

In that constitution, it has all it takes to eliminate crime. “And the two steps to take to eliminate crime is to eliminate crime within the government. That is the hardest thing to do in Nigeria. “One of the reasons why we don’t have an efficient policing system is that if we had an efficient policing system, half of those who are in government will be in jail. “So, it’s not in the interest of the government as it’s today, to have effective police. But they need the p

After the hastily arranged November 9, 2022 rerun, which saw Mr. Usman Ibrahim winning by a huge margin, many party faithful and outsiders are beginning to ask if the the party hierarchy at the state have not compromised or sold out. Amongst the questions on the lips of many party faithful are, why allow Usman Ibrahim also called Sardaunan Badarawa, a known APC supporter and a close ally of Governor Nasir el-Rufai into the PDP few months into the primary? They are also asking why he was given a waiver and go ahead to participate in the primary earlier this year.

 Chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress and the party's Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Hon Yakubu Murtala Ajaka, has berated the campaign of calumny against the APC Presidential candidate ahead of the 2023 general election.

  Dino Melaye, the vile, villainous, sinister, ominous, malodrous, malevolent, arse-licking and rectum-sucking spokesman for the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council and a man for whom I have nothing but disdain, disgust and contempt has alleged that His Excellency Senator Kashim Shettima, our Vice Presidential candidate is the leader of Boko Haram and that he would open offices for the terrorist organisation in the Presidential Villa if he and His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, our Presidential candidate, are elected into office next year.  This notorious, shameless, asinine and desperate comedian's hysterical outburst against Kashim Shettima is not only irresponsible, misplaced, disingenuous, baseless and utterly false but it is also complete balderdash. His allegation is nothing but a specious lie and a well-planned, well-crafted and well-constructed mendacity which was dug up from the pit of hell and the archives of time.  His are nothing but the nonsensical words,

 The Social Democratic Party (SDP) Presidential Candidate in 2023 general elections, Prince Adewole Adebayo on Wednesday described Nigeria’s population as a huge blessing, if properly invested in, saying it has capacity to boost the Gross Domestic Product per Capita of the country. Prince Adewole Adebayo made this known during a chat with newsmen on his plans for the country. In his words: “the Nigerian population is not stretching the resources because we have more than enough resources to cater for the well-being and by extension, the development of the country”. “A country that has over 15 commercially viable resources scattered across the States can not be poor. The issue is the kind of corruption that is being carried out in the country which is making it difficult to invest in the citizens”. He added “We cannot as a country use population increase as a reason for the abject poverty that is bedeviling our great nation as the number of thieves in public offices are much more than t
