Politicians Are Sinners Anywhere In The World – APC Member

A member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tunji Abayomi, has said that politicians anywhere in the world are “sinners” but Nigeria needs a “sinner” who can develop the country; make money and use the money to lift people out of poverty.

“Anywhere in the world, you find that politicians are sinners,” Abayomi said on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Monday.

“Only sinful men will raise the society from sin because they understand the effects of the sin, the consequences, the structure of sin and how to manage them. If you are looking at holy men, you are not going to achieve a whole lot. If you look at the history of the world, that is the reality.”

Abayomi, who is also the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of Adekunle Ajasin University in Ondo State, however, said there must be some form of balance between morality and competence.

“There will be some form of balance; yes, a sinner but not a murderer,” he said.

“Who of the sinners can give us the best possibility having regard to the issue that confront this nation today?” he queried.
