Lunatics Have Taken Over Affairs Of Nigeria ― Obi
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has decried that lunatics have taken over leadership positions in the country and have held the country to ransom.
Obi also said that over 70 per cent of politicians in Nigeria today should not be in politics and need to be flushed out.
The former Anambra State Governor said this on Sunday at the Men of Valour conference with the theme: “Navigating the corridors of power, the church, and the politics organised by the Revival House of International Church (RHOGIC), Abuja.”
According to the Labour Party presidential candidate, only a lunatic in government will steal N80 billion of the citizens’ money for personal use.
While describing politics in Nigeria as a case where lunatics have taken over the asylum, Obi noted that most of the politicians in power have no reason to be there.
He warned that unless this crop of politicians are flushed out and competent people voted in, the country will continue to suffer.
His words: “We can’t allow this gangsterism to continue, Nigerians should take back their country.”
“70 per cent of those who are in politics today should not have any reason to be there. I have said it, politics in Nigeria is a case where lunatics have taken over the asylum.
“This is the only country where the worst is leading. I was a trader and gradually entered into politics. When you take far more than you need you are sick.
