According to Peter Obi, politics in the country is just like a case where lunatics have taken over the asylum, stating that the system needs to be changed.
In his words:
We can’t allow this gangsterism to continue, Nigerians should take back their country. 70 percent of those who are in politics today should not have any reason to be there.
I have said it, politics in Nigeria is a case where lunatics have taken over the asylum.
