Half Of Those In Government Should Be In Jail – Prince Adewole Adebayo

 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).


He said, “Let’s not run away from forming a government. At the federal level, there’s an existing constitution I am going to swear to on 29 May. 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 police for protection. So, I will make that difference.”


The second edition of the town hall has four presidential candidates in attendance – African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore; Action Democratic Party, Mallam Yabagi Sani; All Progressives Grand Alliance, Professor Peter Umeadi, and Adebayo.


The first of a series of town hall meetings was set for four presidential candidates who were selected based on the performance of their parties in an online survey conducted by CDD.
