Addressing a cross section of journalists in his office yesterday, the PDP candidate at the just concluded senatorial elections in Lagos West, Otunba Segun Adewale opined that the reason for his involvement in politics is due to the high level of poverty he has seen in the land and the need for someone to stand up to correct this anomaly in the society. He also stated categorically that Nigeria is only responsible to few individuals and not the general populace as seen in many other countries.

The senatorial candidate who is currently training 20 youths from Lagos West Senatorial District (2 per Local government) when asked on the assurances of getting a job for the participants at the training stated that the world's economy does not favor what you study, but what you know as service industries have become the order of the day. "These graduates will be trained on what they should know and do to become relevant in the world today".

He also advised other graduates who are not beneficiary of this scheme to look out for problems they can solve in the country. "The more problem you can solve, the more money you can make. Solving more complex society problems bring much more money".
On Nigeria's problem, he asserted that the problem of Nigeria is fundamental. "It is not about change of leadership but a change of system which involves a total overhauling of the constitution. Our situation is like using a typewriter in the 21st century for business while other businesses are looking at computers and smart devices". Part of the overhauling of the constitution also involves removing a constitutional term limit for presidents as seen with legislators. "From what I studied in geography, I know that real development takes time, within 10 to 15 years. Removing term limits means a serious government could make long term plans for development without thinking of another government coming in 4 or 8 years time to shatter all progress that must have been made".

Before concluding his media chat, he advised all youths and elites to get involve and participate more in politics as their non-participation is giving room for more illiterates and incompetent people to paddle the affairs of the nation. He also wished General Buhari well for the next four years as the president of the nation.

If you say we are not ripe for this, you can aa well conclude that we are not ripe for democracy then as the case is!!!

Take a look at the document we call a constitution, all our problems are embodied in it......We have copied another man's land document and it is killing us big time.

This man is correct, our problem is basically fundamental.....We need a new book called constitution...

I totally agree with d kernel of ur argument, d albatross of a fraud called constitution is d main problem & not necessarily d longevity of a particular administration so I insist again, we r not yet good for a prolonged stretch under one man, at least not with d generation of brutish, irrational politicians junkettin all over our faces & lives. Eight years my brotha, is more than enough for any serious human to chart a progressive political course even here in nigeria....

The man is an idiiot, Lack of term limit is one of the biggest reasons why there are lots of sit tight irresponsible leaders in many African countries , in actual fact, no country should have a constitution not indicating term limit of two terms. Burundi is now looking like it will go back in to the yesteryears of wars and coup, because the president wants to go for third term unconstitutionally.

Systems and institutions not individual.

I just detest this man with all reasons.

My people perish cos they lack wisdom...A reasonable person would love to ask why i made the statement.
Only a shallow minded person like you wount know that even Jesus christ had haters so why do u fault someone for his/her feels for another person.
One man's food is another man's poison, people like you who got from his N500 and mini pack Indomie election campaign mobilisations will definitely love him, but people like me who know the menace he caused by distributing guns and all sort of arms to thugs that worked for him will certainly get prejudiced animosity for him.
Probably you dont know about him more than i do.
