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.
Hadiza Bala Usman, the former managing director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), alleged that she was persecuted by former Minister of Transport Rotimi Amaechi because she did not give him a birthday present. In her new book "Stepping on Toes: My Odyssey at the Nigerian Ports Authority," she claimed that the minister refused pleas from governors and other prominent Nigerians to reinstate her, citing selfishness and failure to give him a present. She also accused the minister of attempting to frame her with charges of non-remittance of operating surplus to the Consolidated Revenue Fund, although she was cleared of wrongdoing after a prolonged investigation. Usman said Amaechi gave her an ultimatum to either resign or challenge her suspension in court.
