The Social Democratic Party (SDP) Presidential candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has expressed his displeasure with the APC-led Federal Government's refusal to follow the Court of Appeal's decision, which discharged and informed the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, of terrorism charges.
In response to the development, the SDP presidential candidate stated that the court is competent and that no one should accuse it of lack of jurisdiction.

As Prince Adebayo mentioned, “given what I know as the basis of the rendition and all that associated with the agitation by IPOB, this is not a matter that can be judicially resolved. It has to be a matter that has to be resolved politically under a strong leadership”.
According to SDP presidential candidate, “the best thing to do is to make sure we find solutions that can last. I do not see any reason what a seating government would not be able to resolve it”.
“I think the government is just oppressing ElZahzazkhy for nothing. The law is such that the government is supposed to be the protector of the most obnoxious people”.
”In every decision you take in government, there are winners and there are losers. So what you need to do as a leader is to ensure that you chastise the child with the right hand and pamper the child with the left hand”.
Adebayo maintains that the government is already powerful and does not require more power. What the government requires is advice, and what the government requires is moderation.
“Any person who does not respect the indivisibility of Nigeria, does not have my respect”.
“Anybody who does not respect the diversity of Nigeria, which this government is guilty of, does not have my respect”
“Anybody who does not respect the sanctity of lives of other Nigerians, however the cause you are following, you cannot use tyranny or any form of force to persuade people to join you. I cannot be with that person”.
