Prince Adewole Adebayo, the Social Democratic Party’s (SDP) presidential candidate in 2023, has indicated his preparedness to succeed President Bola Tinubu and improve upon his governance.

Adebayo revealed this in a conversation with DAILY POST, emphasizing that the 2027 election preparedness concerns citizens’ readiness to alter the existing government rather than the opposition parties.

Adebayo asserted that he is better prepared, more intentional, better programmed, surrounded by superior individuals, and has a clearer vision that aligns more closely with constitutional expectations.

He said, “The opposition being ready is a given. What’s more important is whether the people are ready. Democracy is about the people. If you ask me whether I am ready to take over from president Bola Tinubu and govern the country better, I would yes, I am ready, even today. You can drive me to the Aso Rock Villa now and ask me to take over, you will see a better result today, not tomorrow. I am better on every front. I am better prepared, better intentioned, better programmed, surrounded by better people and with clearer vision, closer to what the constitution wants.

“It is the people who need to be ready to change their government. The idea that the duty of opposition is to hold the government to account is misplaced. The primary duty to take the government to account are the different branches of government. The national assembly has a duty to oversee what the executive is doing and the judiciary is to ensure that both the legislature and executive comply with the laws of the land. It is now left for the people to hold their elected officials accountable.

“My job in the opposition is to form the next government as I don’t want to choose opposition as a career. I don’t want after this election, you continue to call me opposition. I want to be called president and Commander-in-Chief. I want to be in government. I don’t want to be a professional opposition.”
