A Political affairs analyst, Ibrahim Modibbo, has said that politics in Nigeria today is that of stomach infrastructure and not of ideology.
Modibbo made this statement on Thursday during an interview on Arise Television monitored by DAILY POST.
He lamented that Nigeria is moving from sublime to being run by mediocrity and iniquity, stressing that citizens have to open the corridors of political inclusion.
“Nigeria is under no illusion as to mirror the problems confronting this country politically. As a scholar of development communication, I can tell you free of charge that Nigeria today is moving from sublime to being run by mediocrity and iniquity rule within our political system.
“There’s a need for us to open the spectrum to broaden the corridors of political inclusion and the virtues associated with opposition.
“Nigeria’s politics today is that of stomach infrastructure and not of ideology unlike the ones we had in 1979. We saw people of character and characterisation. People that knew politics and the onions of political permutations in this country.
“But sadly today, we are in the state of despondency, where we see ravish display of political rascality, where people don’t have ideology but are just after their stomach infrastructure. It’s so sad,” he said.
