A presidential aspirant under the platform of Social Democratic Party (SDP), Prince Adewole Adebayo, has pledged to unite Nigerians and end injustice in the nation if elected.
Adebayo made the vow when he paid homage to Emir of Kano, Alh. Aminu Ado Bayero, where he formally informed the monarch of his intention to run for president.
The renowned legal practitioner said the nation has gotten to this precarious situation as a result of injustice.
According to him, “justice is the begining and the end of my mission in politics, and when that is achieved, there would not be religious, tribal, economic, ideological and economic differences in the country”.
Adebayo, however, said the country can still regain her enviable days of the founding fathers, if properly managed.
“We have gotten to this precarious situation as a country because of injustice. No country is too poor to be just. A just person will not be corrupted, a just person will not take advantage of the office to take public resources to himself and his family and friends,” he said.
“So leader must do justice and when that happened, Nigerians will complain less. When Nigeria used to have less resources, and without oil, we were happier. For thousands of years, Nigeria has been under natural leadership and the golden rule is justice.
“Politicians should not go around promising electorate heaven and earth that they cannot do. What should be promised is justice. Justice is the begining and the end of my mission in politics, and when that is achieved, there would not be religious, tribal, economy, ideological and economic differences in the country.
“Insecurity in Nigeria arises from injustice because people have been left as if there is no government to fend for themselves. Many would resort to God while some will go the rough means. And even in the prosecution of war against injustice, resources have not been justly used. This has been used as defense such that Nigerians do not even know who is against them, whether it is the bandits or the people running the affairs of this country,” Adebayo noted.
Responding, the Emir of Kano urged the presidential aspirant to ensure fulfilment of his campaign promises, if he eventually win the plum seat.
