Quotes Nigerian leaders are armed robbers; if not, how can a governor that gets N500m as security vote switch on the television or radio and see a man or woman having health challenges, and switch off the television without asking that the person be treated? What is creating problem in Nigeria is this ungodly desire for acquisition of wealth and lack of justice because when there is no justice, there will not be peace. How can a man have 50 houses when he can only sleep in one room and he acquired this at the detriment of others. It is not the size, either of region, state or local council that is the problem. The problems we have today is that governors have hijacked council resources. External link Category:Living people Category:Politicians from Nigeria Category:1945 births
