Excerpts from the Niche interview
ON PETER OBI
"Nigerians should open their eyes; shine your eyes and vote solidly for the Obi-Datti ticket on February 25. That is the only thing you have now. It is your last hope. If you miss it, you will regret it forever. Put it down. Your last hope is to vote Obi-Datti solidly and show that indeed you have been suffering. If you allow anybody to buy your votes, aaah, you are in a dungeon."
"If that doesn’t happen, when the result will come, I will be enjoying myself in the grave. I am only saying it for those who are coming behind."
"The whole thing has degenerated completely.
You know when you are taken to the hospital and your condition is critical, you are admitted in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Nigeria is in the ICU. The country is on life support which has carried us to 2023. If we get it right by voting Obi-Datti, we will be taken off the life support and come back to life. If we don’t, gbam, that will be death."
"When a government has borrowed to the extent that it has to borrow more money to pay interest on the loans. Haba! You are bankrupt. Didn’t you see the budget? They have to borrow money to pay the interest. My dear, I weep for Nigeria."
ON BUHARI
"Please, forget about Buhari. I am just praying that God should save this country until he goes away."
"In a saner clime, Buhari should have been driven away two or three years ago. Nigerians are so tolerant."
"A lot of atrocities that the Buhari administration has committed has gone unreported. When he won the election in 2015, you know what happened to the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in Kano? You pressmen have forgotten?"
"The man and his entire family – wife and children – were burnt to death in his own house and no arrest was made till date. They all died. That is why I said they should come and arrest me if I am lying that Buhari is behind the insecurity in the country. The man was killed because he had proof that the election was rigged. The whole family was burnt to death. No arrest was made, no one was prosecuted till today. That was the end of the matter. That is the Buhari terrorism. Can’t you remember? Am I telling a lie? That is why I said they should come and arrest me."
