Quacks Have Brought Nigeria’s Politics To The Lowest Level – Donald Duke

He lamented that Nigeria is suffering because of the calibre of politicians in the country.

Duke stated this in Abuja, on Saturday, on the sidelines of the 2024 teens career conference titled ‘The power of music’

The conference was organised by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), The Everlasting Arm Parish, Garki.

The former governor urged the political class to make concerted efforts to restore the hope and pride of youths in the country.

He stated that majority of Nigerian youths are not looking within the country for a better future as they have turned their attention to other climes.

Duke stressed the need to eliminate quacks who saw politics as a means of livelihood rather than a means of service.

According to him, “Hope is an eternal, effervescent power to create hope in the young ones that their tomorrow will be better than today, just as their today ought to have been better than yesterday.

“Politics could be the most elevating vocation, but a lot of quacks are involved in it right now, so they have brought it down to the lowest level.

“When politics is right, it elevates everything; it elevates medicine; it elevates your livelihood; when we complain about the country not being good, it is the politician.

“So, if you have the right politicians, we will have the right country; so, it is the most noble of vocations, but unfortunately full of quacks.”

He said the high inflation rate in the country is due to the cost of energy and tasked the political class with addressing the energy crisis by converting gas flaring to support the economy.
