The 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Prince Adewole Adebayo says he is ready to take over from President Bola Tinubu in a heartbeat if presented with the oppportunity.

Adebayo made this known in a recent inteview with Daily Post.

He said he will do better than President Tinubu who he claims has been a disaster since he took over in 2023.

"If you ask me whether I am ready to take over from president Bola Tinubu and govern the country better, I would yes, I am ready, even today. You can drive me to the Aso Rock Villa now and ask me to take over, you will see a better result today, not tomorrow. I am better on every front. I am better prepared, better intentioned, better programmed, surrounded by better people and with clearer vision, closer to what the constitution wants," he said.

"It is the people who need to be ready to change their government. The idea that the duty of opposition is to hold the government to account is misplaced. The primary duty to take the government to account are the different branches of government,"he added.
