‘Everything Dies Under Military Rule’– Prince Adebayo Warns, Harps On Democracy
The Presidential candidate of Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the 2023 general election, Prince Adewole Adebayo has urged Nigerians to avoid advocating for a military rule due to the current political and economic problems in the country.
Prince Adebayo on his official X handle said military rule is not an alternative to the poor governance in Nigeria’s current democratic system.
According to him, everything dies under it, as the military is neither good for itself nor the society.
He also stated how media houses suffered under military rule, recounting how a media founder was shot in the course of defending the rights Nigerians take for granted today.
He said, “The military should never return. The press should be the last Estate to succumb to amnesia if others forget. We have dissatisfaction with the government of the day.
“We have problems in every sector where we ought to be thriving in but one thing we have going for us is that we have a blank cheque of democratic processes we can cash whenever we are ready to approach the Bank of Democracy with honest credentials.
The former presidential candidate admitted that the Tinubu administration has led to a bad economy, adding however that it wasn’t enough for military take over, rather,” use the ballot”.
“A new civilian government should be the only means of replacing the present government no matter what our level of dissatisfaction is. I am not prepared to live another term under the present government, hence my hard work on the street to electioneer @OfficialAPCNg and @OfficialPDPNig out of power democratically.
“No matter what is at stake, military rule is ruled out. It is neither good for the military nor for society. Everything dies under military rule, including the Soul of the Nation.
That elections are not free and fair is no excuse to return to 400 year captivity in Egypt. That is the new frontier for our democratic struggle.
“It is the Red Sea we have to cross. And when we reach the Promised Land, we still have the Philistines to fight. Only cowardice and amnesia can sound like lullabies of the junta. God forbid! Nigeria is destined for democracy. And so shall it be,” he stated.
