Governor of Niger state, Aliyu Babangida says that one has to tell lies to survive in the political scene of today, adding that there is no morality in politics. He says if anyone wants to pursue morality, they should go and become Imams or Pastors. The Governor stated this while inaugurating the PDP guber campaign committee in Minna the state capital yesterday January 5th.
"If you cannot lie, get out of politics. Anything you are involved in has its own rule. You are in politics to win, win first and let other things follow. Don’t be the one crying louder; lest you will be the one ‎they will take to court. If you are talking of honesty or morals, go and become an Imam or pastor. Politics cannot be the way it used to be.
"The challenges are more now, the variables have changed, the issues that we are going to face in 2015 are different from the ones we faced in 1999 and we must bear this in mind. Our society is not as grateful as it used to be, the values and morals have gone down. If you want to win, use the modern morality. We have worked for the people. Politics is not about sadaka (giving alms), politics reminds people of what you have done. Go out and remind the people of what we have done.” he said

we have seen it all from the days of yore. In the history of the world and civilization. In the quest to obtain and retain power, politicians have resorted to lying as one of their characteristics.

It happens all over the world. Aliyu BaBaginda have said nothing new, Its just that, there should be new ways of lying(propaganda).

I think he was being real.

thats what Buhari is doing even recklessly.
' I will feed 20 million almajiris in north'--Buhari
' I will pay corp members for one year while they acquire skills'--- Buhari
' I will give state authority to get their own police'--Buhari.
' I will feed primary school pupils'--Buhari.
' I will stabilize world oil price'--- Buhari
' I will reset Nigerian GDP to run between 10 and 12%'---- Buhari
' I will make certificates useless and empower skills above it'---Buhari. Perhaps because he doesnt have certificate.
' I will create 10 million jobs'--Buhari
Buhari lies to Nigerians as if he is talking to his cows. Buhari is a counterfeit product being laundered by criminals.
