A presidential aspirant on the platform of the Social
Democratic Party, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has said that real politicians in
Nigeria are not up to 200 in number, insisting that the rest are armed robbers
who speak political languages.
Speaking at a book launch in Abuja on Thursday, Adewole also
said that security agents and the government of the day were not willing to end
the operations of bandits and Boko Haram in the country.
According to the presidential hopeful, ministers, members of
the National Assembly and most civil servants in the country are not good
people, adding that a good person would not steal over N140 billion from the
country’s coffers, alluding to the Accountant-General of the Federation.
“If the President says he does not want One Chance in Abuja,
there’ll be no One Chance. If security agencies say they don’t want bandits,
and want them eradicated in 7 days, they’ll eradicate them in seven days. But
they’ve rented the country out to them.
“Our ministers, National Assembly members and civil servants
are not good people. Look at the way they behave. Good people don’t steal
N140b. Good people don’t steal N1 at all. Good people are not ministers who
want to contest for President but refuse to resign.
“The number of politicians in Nigeria cannot be up to 200.
The rest are armed robbers speaking political language. Nigeria doesn’t have
many politicians.
“In an atmosphere of governmental orphanage, those who are
responsible for the affairs of the government, for proper governance, absconded
from their duties, so Nigerians are like children of a wealthy family who lost
their parent and their caretakers are looting the resources without taking care
of the beneficiaries or a company that is under a hostile takeover.
“So what I am saying to the Nigeria youths is that it is not
enough to be angry, it is not enough to complain, you must take ownership.
Because those who are in government, those who came before them and those who
are planning to come now are planning to come and loot your resources. The
earlier you wake up and do three things the better for you.
“You must find a solution to your problems by yourself.
“You must act collectively to be productive.
“You must take control of the politics and put people who
can think and are energetic and responsible and stop complaining to them. 2023
is an opportunity to do so.
“That is why I’m preaching to young people to stop
complaining to the government and be the government. That is how you take
control like an orphan who becomes prematurely mature and takes control of his
own future.”
