Presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) for the 2023 general election, Adewole Adebayo, says corrupt Nigerian leaders have not been jailed because of inefficient police framework.
Adebayo made the affirmation on Sunday during the second edition of presidential town-hall meeting organized by ARISE TV in collaboration with Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD).
He asserted that the government intentionally overlooked laying out a proficient police framework because of fear of being jailed.
He said if elected president in the forthcoming election, he would change the framework in a bid to proffer answers for the desolating crimes in the country.
He said, “And the two steps to take to eliminate crime is to eliminate crime within the government. That is the hardest thing to do in Nigeria.
“One of the reasons we don’t have an efficient police system is that if we had an efficient police system, half of those who are in government will be in jail.
“So, it’s not in the interest of the government as it’s today, to have an effective police force. But they need the police for protection. So, I will make that difference.”
