If You Cannot Lie , Get Out Of Politics – Niger State Governor

Governor of Niger state, Aliyu Babangida says that one has to tell lies to survive in the political scene of today, adding that there is no morality in politics. He says if anyone wants to pursue morality, they should go and become Imams or Pastors.

The Governor stated this while
inaugurating the PDP guber campaign committee in Minna the state capital 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.

Ẹ̀rìndínlógún in the old way of using it: Baba Odùdúwà: In ancient times, the "Cowrie Shell" was used whole. They didn’t took the belly out (the womb) as it done now in many places, when the full Cowrie was used (without opening the "belly"), the reading of the Oracle was something different, if the Cowrie Shell falls with the belly up, this means that it does not speak.
