The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Prince Adewole Adebayo has reaffirmed pledge to tackle poverty and unite Nigeria if elected after the February 25 election.
Prince Adebayo made this claim when he paid a visit to the Emir of Lafia Retired Justice Sidi Bage-Muhammad I, in Lafia, Nasarawa State.
According to the renowned lawyer, Nigeria is blessed with so many resources that no citizen was supposed to be living in poverty.
He explained that 99 per cent of Nigerians “do not have N100, 000 in their savings account, signifying that they are living in poverty in the midst of plenty. He said: “The resources of this country are in the hands of just one per cent of the population and it should not be so.
“It cannot be allowed to continue, as such if I am elected as the president of the country, we will redistribute the resources to ensure that the majority of our people live above the poverty line.”
