The former Anambra governor was quoted by Daily Trust to have said:
“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 near there. I have said it, politics in Nigeria is a case where lunatics took over the asylum.
“You must replace that asylum with people who are competent. This is the only country where the worst is leading; the best should lead. I have served there; I was a trader and gradually entered into politics.
“How do you think about one person taking 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.
“If we get young people with the competence and capacity to be there, things will change.”
