Naira Swap: SDP condemns hardship on Nigerians but will not boycott election




Prince Adewole Adebayo, the Presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP),  on Monday said the party is committed to being on the ballot in the forthcoming presidential and governorship elections.


The presidential hopeful made this known via his official Twitter handle in response to the hardship being melted on Nigerians as regards the naira swap going on currently and the alleged threat by political parties threatening to boycott the general election.

He outrightly condemned the hardship but made it known that the SDP will be on the ballot at all levels during the electioneering period and not part of the political parties that intend to boycott the election.

In his tweet he said “Social Democratic Party SDP is committed to contesting Presidential, National, and State elections slated for February and March 2023. SDP, a major political party with credible and popular candidates working hard for victory is NOT part of any ’13 parties’ threatening a boycott.”

Recall that Prince Adebayo had earlier faulted the currency redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) saying that the CBN shouldn’t be an extension of politics in Nigeria.”
