The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Adewole Adebayo, has vowed to end terrorism and banditry in Nigeria within six months of taking office if he wins the 2027 election.
Adebayo gave the assurance on Monday when he appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today to speak on insecurity.
He said the country has what it takes to defeat bandits, adding that the failure has been a lack of willpower from leaders and the absence of a workable plan.
According to him, a government that means business will not play politics with the lives of Nigerians but act and secure the country.
He listed intelligence gathering, securing the borders, and proper funding for security agencies as the core of his plan.
Adebayo further stated that the agencies will also be made to account for results.
The SDP presidential hopeful said Nigerians are fed up with stories and excuses.
He said all they want is to farm in peace, travel in peace, and sleep in peace.
“In six months, Nigeria should not be seeing bandits anymore. And by Christmas 2027, terrorists will be past tense in Nigeria,” he said.
