Convener of
pro-democracy group, Concerned Nigerians, Deji Adeyanju has given reason he
would not run for any political office in Nigeria.
Adeyanju, on Monday,
said many Nigerians at the grassroots level will not allow him run for any
political office because they do not believe in ideas or big grammar but just
money to vote in anyone.
He added that he
doesn’t have millions of Naira to waste, hence ‘laughs’ whenever people advise
him to contest.
The activist
disclosed this on his Twitter page, stressing that the real problem in Nigeria
is those at the grassroot level.
His tweets read:
“When I hear people advise me to run for political office, all I do is laugh.
Do I have 100 or N200m to waste? In Nigeria, the grassroot does not want to
hear big grammar or bright ideas. All they want is money -Party agents, etc.
“We are not ready
and we have too many issues in Nigeria.
“When I see people
lying to themselves and others on social media about elections in Nigeria and
giving false hope that does not exist, I just laugh. The earlier we start
telling ourselves the truth, the better. The real problem is in the grassroot.”
One of the sons of former vice-president Atiku Abubakar, Adamu,
announced that his father will run for president again in 2023.
The former Vice
President contested the last presidential election in 2019 under the platform
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and lost to the incumbent President
Muhammadu Buhari.
