Nigeria’s environmental issues cause by Government failures-SDP’s Adebowole Adebayo

The presidential candidate of the social democratic party (SDP), Prince Adewole Adebayo has said that if elected, his party will lead Nigeria well and by extension, West Africa.
Prince Adebayo said this when responding to questions on the tension in the Sahel region and his plan towards environmental development, during the Presidential Town Hall Meeting on Climate Change and Environmental Concerns which held in Abuja.
The town hall meeting which held on Tuesday February 7, had the theme: 2023 General Elections and the Quest for a Greener Nigeria.
Speaking on environmental problems Nigeria is facing, he stated that the problems are caused by failure of the government, adding that the country has enough resources to handle its environment issues.
“Many of the problems you see here, they’re not even environmental problems per say; they are problems of failure of government”, he said.
“First, if you look at the amount of money we need to reflood Lake Chad, it is not up to 10 percent of what EFCC have been announcing all the time that has been stolen from the government. So Nigeria is not a country that we need to call on the world to come and save it and its environment because we have enough resources within the country to do so”.
The SDP presidential candidate further noted that Nigeria is a global power in Africa, hence if there is an efficient government in place, the environmental problems across West Africa can be dealt with. He went further to list the various ways his government would control the challenges facing the Sahel if elected.
He said. “We are the global power around here, by nature of God’s gift. Therefore, if you have an efficient government in Nigeria and through the mechanism of ECOWAS and other bilateral relationships, here is what we will do.
“First, we will mandate by regulation; so when you deal with poverty, across West Africa, the impact on the environment will be minimal. Second, we have a defense policy – the symbol of it is the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG), whereby around West Africa you won’t have militants, jihadists, bandits coming there because we have the ability to take care of that if our defense policy is implemented under the proper commander in chief”.
Prince Adewole further noted that there is need for government to have stability in its dealings across board in order not to have communities clashing.
“So I believe that under our government we will lead Nigeria well and once we lead Nigeria well, we will lead West Africa well and anything the international community wants to contribute will be looked at as their own contribution; but in-house house we are fine”.
The SDP presidential candidate further urged Nigerians to pay attention to issues the nation is facing and listen to his ideas and those of the other candidates of the party to know that SDP is an organic party filled with ideas and ready to work for Nigeria.
Other presidential candidates present at the townhall were – Kachikwu Dumebi – ADC, Omoyele Sowore – AAC, Senator Alkali representing Kwankwaso of NNPP.
The Adewole Adebayo Presidential Campaign entourage comprised of: VP Yusuf Salisu Buhari, Sen. Ugochukwu Uba, Pst Ade Alabi and Chief Godwin Osigbeme .

2023: My Husband  understands your suffering, vote him-Queen Lilian to Christians

Wife of the SDP presidential candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo, Queen Lilian Adebayo has urged Christian women to vote right by voting the SDP candidate because he is one that speaks for citizens and not himself.
While representing her husband at the Royal Light Chapel Faith Hill Prophetic Assembly’s service on Sunday February 5, she urged the women to look inwards and vote for a party that would listen to the sufferings of Nigerians.
She said, “Mothers are the ones who suffer the most because you see your children, you can’t pay their fees, you can’t send your children out all by themselves. So I’m just here to say these things to us that regardless of what you see on TV or what you hear, we should look inward, who do we really want to rule this country the way that we will all want, that will not put himself first but will put the country first and the people of this country, the citizens”.
Citing the story of Jesse and David in the bible, Queen Lilian said Christians should understand that a good leader comes from the lord, and Nigerians shouldn’t be fazed by the candidates that have been presented as ‘frontrunners’ in the election.
“This time is a very important time because we all need to choose right this coming election. We cannot take it for granted, and as Christians we all know that a good leader comes from the Lord. We have to play our parts as Christians as we all know the story of David in the Bible”.
She described Prince Adebayo as the only fearless candidate who has spoken outrightly concerning the ills of the country, hence why he should be voted in.
“God only knows who he has chosen, fit to be the leader, to be president and that’s what I’ve come to talk about here, to talk about the person of my husband. His name is Prince Adewole Adebayo; he is the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic party SDP. He might appear to look like the underdog, the media don’t want to put him in front; they hear him but they thought to put him behind, not to put him in forefront so people will hear him talk about the problems of this country.
“So we should all come out this time around and vote right. Vote right means to look at all the candidates, what they’ve said and choose which one has spoken for you and not himself. And I can assure you that we have that person in my husband, who has come out boldly to speak the problems of this country while others are shying away from it”.
“I plead for the support of everyone. The party logo is a horse, so on that day of election, you’ll see the horse on the ballot paper, so that’s the one you’ll vote for, the president of this country”, she said.
The ministering Bishop, Justice Great Oluwafemi Itomog ministered on the topic: “Every step of faith has been ordered divinely as a step of victory”.
Queen Lilian’s Entourage comprised of Madam Hannatu Molkulong – SDP FCT women leader, Madam Podibeze Peter – SDP AMAC Women leader, Mrs Pat Paul, Madam Christie Anteh and Grace Omugbe Anthony.
