Presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the 2023 election, Adewole Adebayo, has criticised the failure of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to fight banditry and terrorism in the country.
Adebayo stated this on Tuesday, during an interview on Arise News’ Prime Time.
He alleged that the Tinubu administration has neglected key sectors such as security, education, justice, and poverty alleviation.
“I thought they would recognise that the country needs security and ensure safety across Nigeria, but they haven’t done much.
“New terror groups are emerging, communities in the Middle Belt are turning against each other, and Boko Haram remains undefeated. Today, you’re more likely to see officials taking selfies with terrorists than fighting them,” Adebayo said.
Weighing in on the economy, the former presidential candidate blasted the government’s handling of poverty and development.
He criticised the administration’s student loan policy, noting that poor infrastructure and recurring strikes undermine its purpose.
Adebayo also condemned the recent presidential pardons, describing them as a fiasco.
He urged Nigerians to reject any attempt to re-elect the Tinubu administration, warning that a second term would compound the nation’s disgrace.
