The APC chieftain also said that Nigerians have being turned to mere spectators as “the economic situation is the country has continued to nose-dive because it does not allow for participation from Youths who are the most significant sector of the economy.”

“All is not well with our nation. Every Nigerian is concerned; we want peace, security and good governance. It looks like it is far-fetched.”

He also decried the level of poverty among Nigerians, saying it is caused by the absence of leaders with vision.

“The difference between Nigeria and Dubai is idea; the difference between Nigeria and China is vision, the difference between you and Rochas is information, if you know what I know you will be where I am” “It is only in Nigeria that young men will wake up in the morning and loiter around without anything to do”

“Poverty in Nigeria is an apparent poverty which does not reflect any element of reality”

All we need is good vision and patience. We are passing through very difficult moments, so that Nigerian children can have a good sense of history of the good, the bad and the ugly.”

Comparing the situation in the country to a football game, the former governor said, “I always say it that the Nigerian system is like a football game setting, where you have twenty two people playing the match and the entire stadium is filled with people cheering and clapping for the players at the end of the match, the spectators go home while only the team that won the match and their coach take the medals, that is because it’s a dummy they sold to us through colonialism.”
