The Presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Prince Adewole Adebayo says he wants to do big things if elected into office in 2023.
Speaking in a television interview earlier this week, Prince Adebayo said he does not want to be a president that will be feeding children in their schools.
The renowned lawyer said he is more interested in creating a system that will help the Local Government, state and federal to function effectively.
In his words, “As president, I don’t want to be the president that will say I am feeding children in their schools. What is the local government doing?
“We should create a system by executive order whereby a Local Government can collaborate with the central government and do basic things as immunization. We are federalizing and centralizing everything which bees to be done by the local community.”
He added that “Every organ of government that have legislative power should have executive powers too. If a LG can make an ordinance — say don’t pack here, don’t dump refuse here, don’t do this, don’t do that, they need to have a minimum power that allows them enforce those laws. ”
According to the presidential hopeful, most of our criminal offenses are state offenses like murder, arson, manslaughter — they are all within the state laws and should be handled by the state through legislative processes.
Prince Adebayo added that the things that confronts Nigerians are basic and can be taken care of at the level of the community.
This he said, informed SDP’s campaign strategy of meeting the people in their community, instead of nomenclature of crowd renting.
” We are the doing door-to-door campaign and we do engagements. What we are not going to do is to run a very expensive campaign.” He added.
