Former Governor of Anambra cum presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi has declared that 70% of politicians in Nigeria are lunatics.
He made the assertion on Sunday while speaking at the Men of Valour Conference, organised by the Revival House of International Church (RHOGIC) in Abuja.
According to him, unless these “lunatics” are flushed out and competent people voted in, the country will continue to suffer.

“We can’t allow this gangsterism to continue, Nigerians should take back their country.
“70 percent of those who are in politics today should not have any reason to be there. I have said it, politics in Nigeria is a case where lunatics have taken over the asylum.
“This is the only country where the worst is leading. I was a trader and gradually entered into politics. When you take far more than you need, you are sick.
“How do you explain that one person took 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,” Peter Obi opined.
