Adebayo tasks Tinubu on security

AMID growing insecurity, presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party ( SDP) in the 2023 general elections, Adewole Adebayo, has reminded President Bola Tinubu that he has a constitutional duty to maintain law and order, as well as secure Nigerians and their property. He said the Nigerian leader does not need to blow his trumpet if, indeed, he has lived up to expectations, as his performance would be open for ever yone to see.

Adebayo noted that if the testimony of his performance is true in Gboko, Zaki- Ibiam, Biu, Sokoto Umuahia and everywhere, the manifestation would ha ve been everywhere by now . According to him, the government has a duty to properly be in charge and make things work well.

His words: “However tense the economic situation may be, they should be able to keep law and order if they really want to. However crazy the bandits in the forest might be, they should be able to keep order on the streets. However mischievous and evil the kidnappers might be, it should be seen that there is government’s presence. You don’t need your opponent to criticise you or your friends to applaud you.

“If the President is working very hard, people will see it. Even your opponent will say I don’t agree with him, but he’s working hard. So, whether you like the All Progressives Congress ( APC) or detest Governor Babajide Sanwo- Olu of Lagos State, you will not ignore the red line ( train) and say I am not going to take the train, or I can’t see the train. It is very obvious; you will see that he is working.”

He reiterated that bad governance makes insecurity and poverty fester, even as he advised Tinubu to return to Chapter Two of the 1999 Constitution, which according to him, is where all solutions to the country’s problems lie.
