The Labor Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi in recent information has called on Nigerians to take back the country, from those who he described “Mad”.
Obi believes many of those in the political space do not have business being there.
According to him, “We can’t allow this gangsterism to continue, Nigerians should take back their country. Seventy percent 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,” the former governor of Anambra State said on Sunday’s ‘Men of Valour’ conference organised by the Revival House of International Church (RHOGIC), Abuja.
“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.”
“How do you explain that one person took N80 billion? It is not greed; it is sickness. When you take N1 billion, that is greed, but when you take N80 billion, that is sickness. Mad people have taken over our politics,” he said in the programme tagged ‘Navigating the Corridors of Power, the Church, and the Politics’.
“If we get young people with the competence and capacity to be there, things will change.” He said.
