Presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayohas promised to reduce the level of poverty in Nigeria and provide more opportunities for the youth when elected.
Mr. Adebayo, who was represented by the vice presidential candidate, Yusuf Buhari, said this during a visit to Ogunsua from Modakeke of Ile Ife, Oba Joseph Olubiyi Ajibise Ogo 1.
According to a statement by President Adebayo’s Campaign Organization in Abuja, he said the SDP was inspired by Chapter 2 of the 1999 Constitution which states that sovereignty belongs to the people.
He said the leadership was formed by the people and it was their job to look after the welfare of the people.
He said one of the major problems facing the country is poverty all over the place despite abundant material blessings and human resources.
Mr. Adebayo said that in certain parts of the country, some people do not have enough food to eat that they take leftovers in garbage bins to feed their children.
“If you go around some areas at night, you will see some people sleeping everywhere on the streets, there is no shelter.
“If you go to a hospital, the patients are all on the floor, there are no beds, only one doctor with thousands of patients.

“Nigerians do not deserve this. Nigeria is a blessed country. We have resources, we have professionals, If we can unite our homes, all the things we see, we will not be able to see,” he said.
Mr. Adebayo said the previous administration failed to improve the welfare of ordinary citizens, adding that SDP is in the race to make things better for Nigerians.
“We are here to assure you that all the plans we have made, even when we get there, we will get there. We know it will be difficult but we will get there with the grace of God.
Mr. Adebayo assured that Nigerian youths will benefit from the party because he believes that the youths are the ones who make great achievements for Nigeria.
In his remarks, Mr. Toriola praised Mr. Adebayo’s plans and vision for the country.
“I must say that I am in awe of your plan and vision, so I pray that God will help you to finish your race.”
The royal father prayed for the SDP presidential candidate and the campaign team.
The campaign team includes the SDP National Secretary, Olu Agunloye; South West National Vice Chairman, Silas Alani; Director of Protocol, Godwin Osigbeme; Director of Finance, Ugochukwu Uba; and Femi Olufumilade.
