He stated that no amount of venom or anger could propel anyone to the presidency, and that while he longed to be president every day, he had no cause to wish the person in the seat evil.
Adebayo wrote,
“For those of us who aspire to the highest office of President of Nigeria, we must learn from the way Senator John McCain defended Obama when bitter Republicans tried this Chicagoan type mudslinging on Obama’s nationality, credentials and eligibility. McCain shut it down openly.
“No amount of badmouthing, bile or bitterness can take anyone to the Presidency. We need to elevate our politics and give our opponents what they deserve: respect, fairness and decency. Everyday I see @officialABAT on the presidential seat, I wish it was me, but no reason for evil.”
