Pat Utomi, a professor of political economy, said what Nigeria needs to turn the corner are selfless leaders who would give their Iives to the country.
Utomi, a chieftain of the Labour Party, remarked this during an interview he granted Channels TV’s Politics Today saying, “What we need are people who can sacrificially give up themselves to build a country and the possible reward is immortality.”
He also disclosed that plans are afoot to form a mega party that would displace the ruling All Progressives Congress come 2027: “We had conversations with Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, among others as some of those who would probably constitute the mega party.
“I told them that it is not about you but Nigerians. It is about the ordinary person in the street. It is about moving from sharing oil proceeds to building the most productive economy.”
