The southwest politician opined that a lot of the former leaders have no political value and that going to them will be a waste of his time.
In the interview monitored by The Cable, he said:
“I don’t know how to genuflect on the altars of falling gods. When you wake up in Nigeria and you look at your environment — the roads, hospitals and schools — and the only thing you can do is to head to Minna or Abeokuta or wherever these so-called ‘owners of Nigeria’, then something is wrong with you.
“I cannot fathom why a presidential candidate or politician will visit those who destroyed this country when you are claiming that you want to restore the country and that has been my position.
“I do not want to waste my time pleading with them because so many of them do not even have political value to the country. They just erect a shrine somewhere and people will come and worship them.
“For Nigerians to actually own their country, we have to travel in a different direction.”
