The 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Adewole Adebayo, has said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is the party practicing politics in Nigeria while the opposition political parties are occupied with Political Science.
Adewole Adebayo, however, called on the opposition parties to come together and close the gap that is being maximized by the ruling APC.
He said this on Sunday, in a statement, while reacting to the victory of the APC governorship candidate, Monday Okpebholo, in Saturday’s Edo governorship election.
“Edo State Governorship Election 2024 has taught me that APC is doing politics and we in the opposition are doing political science whilst the Nigerian people on whose behalf we are fighting are doing actuarial science. But for the sake of the survival of democracy and Nigeria as a polity, the gap must be bridged ahead of 2027,” Adebayo said.
The SDP chieftain also commended the Edo governorship candidate of the Labour Party, Olumide Akpata for putting up a good performance during the governorship contest on Saturday.
“I commend Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party for such a brilliant campaign and eliminating the lazy excuse that the Edo people did not have credible alternatives to the status quo duo of the APC and PDP.
“The hunger in the People’s stomachs has not been communicated to their thumbs. The majority of the electorate cannot continue to vote for the status quo by not coming out on Election Day. We will not give up on the people and this most beautiful and glorious country. I wish Edo State people all the best and may God bless Nigeria,” Adebayo added.
