Aliyu Babangida, governor of Niger state says that to
survive in the political scene of today,you must be a liar! The Governor stated this while inaugurating
the PDP gubernatorial campaign committee in Minna the state capital yesterday
January 5th:
"If you cannot lie, get out of politics. Anything you are involved
in has its own rule. You are in politics to win, win first and let other things
follow. Don’t be the one crying louder; lest you will be the one they will
take to court. If you are talking of honesty or morals, go and become an Imam
or pastor. Politics cannot be the way it used to be.
"The challenges are more now, the variables have changed, the
issues that we are going to face in 2015 are different from the ones we faced
in 1999 and we must bear this in mind. Our society is not as grateful as it
used to be, the values and morals have gone down. If you want to win, use the
modern morality. We have worked for the people. Politics is not about sadaka
(giving alms), politics reminds people of what you have done. Go out and remind
the people of what we have done.” he said
