Says competence, patriotism, public service should matter over wealth
By Henry Umoru
ABUJA: Ahead of the 2027 presidential election, the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Prince Adewole Adebayo, has said his ambition to become President is driven by the need to tackle Nigeria’s major national challenges, particularly insecurity and poverty.
Adebayo said he was not seeking political office for personal wealth, recognition or career advancement, arguing that some of the country’s biggest challenges could only be effectively addressed by the Federal Government through the use of national institutions and resources.
The SDP presidential candidate said a state governor could not, on his own, reorganise the Armed Forces or coordinate security operations across different parts of the country.
