SDP Presidential Candidate, Adebayo, Knocks APC, PDP, Says ‘They’ve Ruined Nigeria’

…I Joined Politics To Correct The Errors – Adebayo 

The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Prince Adewole Adebayo has berated the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and the People Democratic Party, PDP, saying “they ruined the politics of Nigeria.”

He added that the two major parties did not just ruined politics of the country but “ruined the economy of the country; destroyed the rule of law,” and “fostered disunity in the country.”

The Presidential Candidate who made these assertions during an exclusive interview, noted that because “conscience is dead in both parties” hence nothing indicate to both parties that “the country is dying within their grips.”

He added: “In every way imaginable; they ruined the politics of Nigeria, they destroyed the rule of law; they’ve torn the moral fabric of the country. They have actually ruined the economy; they’ve fostered disunity in the country. They ruined institutions that society relies upon to be a bridge between the past and the modern world.

“So, there is no facet that you can point to; education, they made it worse than it was, and they are attacking the foundation of education with what they are doing with the Academic Staff Union of Universities. It is not a mere industrial dispute. They are trying to say that Nigeria is an anti-intellectual society.”

“Everything is dead in them; conscience is dead, moral is dead, shame is dead, self-awareness is dead, hearing is dead, seeing is dead. So, when they see underdevelopment, they are not able to understand or recognise it.

“There is nothing around the APC or the PDP that can indicate to them that the country is dying within their grips. Even a blind person can know something dangerous by touching it; a deaf person can see a trailer truck speeding towards him and dodge it, but these two political parties are dead in every sense. They can’t see; they can’t touch; they can’t hear; they can’t feel.”

When asked why he did not joined the two major parties where he can easily realised his aspiration, Prince Adebayo said he joined politics to correct errors in the system.

He noted: “I came into politics to correct the errors, ills and betrayal of the Nigerian people by those two political parties you mentioned.

“There is no way I can ever join them even if I am bound in my hands and feet and dragged to the place; it is impossible.”
