The leader and presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party SDP in the 2023 general election, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has advised the general public, particularly the voters in the coming election to ignore the propaganda that his party has stepped down.

According to Adebayo, the said rumour was handiwork of manipulators, who were trying to swindle some of his party members.

On the contrary, he said its party candidate had not and would never step down for any candidate or party.

Adebayo, in his official X (former twitter)handle @Pres-Adebayo, said the people should not be deceived by the propaganda in certain quarters.

Amid the raging arguments between the government and the organised labour on the need to review upwards the minimum wage, the Social Democratic Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Prince Adewole Adebayo has said what the labour should be asking for is the provision of social investment and not wage increase.

He argued that if social investments were provided, the question of who is a worker or who is not would not even arise because the minimum that the citizens expect from the government as enshrined in Chapter 2 of the country’s constitution would have been made available.

He noted that even if the N615,000 minimum wage demand by the labour is granted by the government, it won’t get them anywhere because the intervention is only at the level of pricing labour when the real thing should be the amount of social investment available in the country.

He further stressed that it is not the amount of money one collects that matters but the purchasing power of such an amount of money.

“During the second Republic, all the governors understood these social investment elements, and that was why all the state governments had their own school boards, scholarship boards, and water resources, such that water gets to houses even in rural areas. What we are doing now is a monetary government where we share money and we assume that there is availability.
