Hardship in Nigeria training citizens to become thieves – SDP’s Adebayo

A chieftain and presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Adewole Adebayo, has lamented the current living standard in Nigeria, stressing that the situation is training citizens to become thieves.

Adebayo made this statement on Tuesday during a live appearance in an interview on ‘Morning Show’, a programme on Arise Television.

DAILY POST reports that President Tinubu, upon assumption of office on May 29, 2023, announced the removal of fuel subsidy, leading to the increase in prices of virtually everything in the market.

Reacting, Adebayo said, “The current living standard is training citizens to become thieves. I ran for President in 2023, but I didn’t realise I was running to be a prophet. Everything I predicted has happened. 

“President Tinubu’s policies have ruined the economy and weakened Nigerians’ purchasing power, without delivering the accountability people sought. 

“What we have today in Nigeria are people in power, not a government as contemplated by our constitution. The SDP will focus on healthcare, education, and improving citizens’ purchasing power. We are targeting voters who didn’t exercise their right in 2023 to boost our numbers.”
