As the campaigns for 2023 forthcoming election heat up, the presidential candidate of Social Democratic Party, Prince Adewole Adebayo said he will manage Nigeria effectively as women take care of their homes if elected.
Adebayo disclosed this to Journalists in Abuja on Saturday during a three-day meeting with presidential hopefuls from several political parties with the theme: Good Governance for Better Nigeria.
He noted that women empowerment is key to ending challenges facing Nigeria.
He added that, “The amount of money Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited is losing every month is enough to put every Child in school in Nigeria, provide housing for all Nigerians and built every dilapidated roads in Nigeria.
He urged all presidential candidates to stick with ‘Responsible Politics’ devoid of violence and financial inducement.
“With the way, I approach governance, women have a major role to play because I grew up well-taken care of. In fact, my attitude to governance arose from the fact that I grew up in innocence.
“The problems of government did not affect me that much because of the family from which I came.
“And my aim, therefore, is to make sure that however long I stay in power or government, whether long or short, I will empower families. By extension women, because failure to empower families is the problem of Nigeria.”
“A government should be like a housewife. If you want to have a government that will work in Nigeria, you have to fashion the government like a housewife. The government will wake up and think of how people will eat and go to school.
