In a statement posted on his X account on Monday, Adebayo asserted that protests should be free from arson, looting, and obstruction. He highlighted that any acts of violence or vandalism should be considered crimes rather than legitimate forms of protest. “In our democracy, let us normalize protests by ensuring they are peaceful, patriotic, and purposeful. There is no place for tension or emergencies if we recognize that arson, looting, obstruction, rage, riots, vandalism, violence, and threats are crimes, not protests,” Adebayo stated.

On July 20, Adebayo strongly criticized voting for the All Progressives Congress (APC), calling it the “simplest, fastest, and cheapest suicide a Nigerian can commit.” He urged Nigerians to avoid voting for the ruling party in upcoming elections, regardless of economic hardships or frustrations. “No matter the temptation or frustration, I urge you not to cast your vote for APC. It is a self-destructive choice that you should avoid for your own sake and for the future of your children,” Adebayo warned.
