'But only sinful men will raise the society because the problems of the society are the sins and they understand the value of those sins...'
Tunji Abayomi, a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress , says Nigerians cannot afford to dwell on integrity in selecting a president because the challenges facing the country require a sinner to fix.in Ondo State, said poverty is the main challenge facing the country, hence, citizens must consider who can create wealth and not embark on a search for a holy man.
PREMIUM TIMES also in an investigation revealed how Peter Obi of the Labour Party used shell companies in tax haven countries to conceal his wealth and failed to declare it to the Code of Conduct Bureau, an act that many believe to be against the 1999 constitution.Mr Abayomi, a lawyer, said it will be almost impossible to get a holy man that can address the challenge of poverty facing the country.He said, “We are not in heaven, let us also appreciate that.
“Integrity issues matter. To a certain extent, the constitution talks about corruption and so on. Obviously, we will deal with that. To expect the personal holiness of candidates, a man that has gone through the structure of life in this nation – a nation anywhere in the world – for example, you find that politicians are sinners. For example, you cannot run for office without money.
