Prince Adewole Adebayo
Constitutional leadership for Chapter II.
Acceptance speech
The speech that frames the constitutional mission.
There is a book that brought us together. It's called the Constitution of Nigeria. That book has a chapter called chapter two, Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy from section 13 to section 23. Read that and use that to choose your government. It starts by saying that power belongs to the people of Nigeria and it is from the people that power and government will derive. Do you agree? So, the power that will be given to the SDP and the Adebayo presidency will come from the people of Nigeria. We will not snatch it. We will not grab it. We will not run away with it. And it says next; The fundamental principle of Nigeria will be Justice and Social Democracy. It is in our constitution. We are the Social Democratic Party. We derive from the Constitution. It says that the resources of Nigeria will be used for the welfare and security of Nigerians.
