SDP presidential candidate, Mr Adewole Adebayo, has submitted that majority of the current political office holders in the country would have been behind bars save for the poor crime detection system.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned he said this during the second series of presidential town hall meeting organized by ARISE TV in collaboration with the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD).
‘Let’s not run away from forming a government. At the federal level, there’s an existing constitution with which I will be sworn in on May 29. In that constitution, it has all it takes to eliminate crime.
And the main step that should be taken to eliminate crime is to eliminate crime within government. That is the hardest thing to do in Nigeria.
One of the reasons why we don’t have an efficient policing system is that if we had gotten an effective crime detection system, half of those who are in government will be in jail.
So, it’s not in the interest of government as it’s today, to have an effective police force. But they need the police for protection. So, I will make that difference’ he said.
African Action Congress , Omoyele Sowore; Action Democratic Party, Mallam Yabagi Sani; All Progressives Grand Alliance, Professor Peter Umeadi, and Adebayo were the presidential candidates that attended the second edition of the town hall meeting.
The first one had four presidential candidates that were selected on the basis of the performance of their parties in an online survey conducted by the CDD.
