2023: Why I Declined CHATHAM HOUSE Invitation – SDP Presidential Candidate
The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party(SDP), Prince Adewole Adebayo, has revealed why he decided not to honour the invitation to speak at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, London popularly known as Chatham House.
This is coming few weeks after Labour Party president candidate, Peter Obi received applause for a resounding speech at the CHATHAM HOUSE.
The presidential candidate said he decided not to go outside the shores of the country to speak to the electorates because he has high respect for Nigeria’s sovereignty.
Prince Adebayo disclosed this on Monday at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs’ platform for 2023 presidential candidates, with the theme, “The world of Nigeria and Nigeria in the world: Foreign policy as an adjunct of domestic priorities,” held in Lagos.
The SDP flagbearer lamented that Nigeria’s presidential candidates that were in Chatham House in London had, “further ridiculed and devalued the nation before the world by their appearances.”
He said, “NIIA was set up in 1961 exactly for this purpose that our foreign policy thinking should be scientific, strategical, well reasoned, well researched, and this institution has the legacy at the background and the capacity to advise you on what to say on the world stage.
“All over the world, before you go out to say anything about Nigeria or your country, you go to the premier diplomatic institute in your country and exchange ideas so that outsiders will understand that what you are saying is in tune with diplomatic policy and doctrines of your country.”
In his remarks, The Institute’s Director General, Professor Eghosa Osaghae said the world has opened its doors to Nigeria in recent times; hence, the need to sound out the candidates on what the candidates’ foreign policy agenda would be.
Professor Osaghae noted that Adebayo was the first of the candidates to honour the Institute’s invitation.
He, however, charged the citizens to exercise their franchise by coming out en masse to vote.
