Senator Nicholas Tofowomo representing Ondo South Senatorial District has stated that Nigerians should be blamed for voting for bad leaders because goats do not vote.
This was made known by the federal lawmaker in an interview with The PUNCH when asked about what is wrong with the current state of the country.
Senator Tofowomo said Nigeria’s problems goes beyond bad leadership.
According to the Ondo South senator, it is beyond leadership.
“At every opportunity to choose a leader, we choose wrong people. When it comes to the election, it is ‘see and buy’. It is not goats that are casting the votes, it is human beings, it is we”.
“If you do not have money and if you do not have a name, you cannot win anything. The problem of Nigeria, if you look at it, is waxing stronger by the day”, he added.
“There are things that will make a country grow – for example, electricity. You can imagine, in my house here, I have not used government electricity in the last four months and I’m in Akure because the transformers we were using here are about three miles from my house. When I got here, I bought the cables to that transformer and I installed poles as well. How many megawatts do we have in this country? We cannot boast of 4000 megawatts as of today.
In Egypt, they have more than 60,000 megawatts. South Africa, they have more than 58,000 megawatts. Why won’t there be development?”, he concluded.
