If You Cannot Lie! Get Out of Politics- Niger state governor

Nigeria Politics Governor of Niger state, Aliyu Babangida is a strong PDP Man , He was among those interested for the Presidential Ticket in the party before the PDP decided to stick to GEJ for a Second Term. He Said that In Nigeria Politics you have to tell lies to survive, 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
