Veteran comedian, Ali Baba has exposed price tags for each
political seat in Nigeria.
Ali Baba made the disclosure while discussing the level of
corruption in Nigeria politics and among the country’s leaders.
Speaking in an interview on the OUTSIDE THE BOX podcast, Ali
Baba who is highly connected with Nigerian politicians, claimed that the price
tag for a senatorial seat is N1.2 billion while that of governorship required
up to N20 to N25 billion in some states.
He described Nigeria politics as a capital intensive project
that is driving corruption in the country.
The veteran comedian further accused Nigerian political
leaders of ignoring the people’s needs and focused only on projects that can
provide money they can leverage on during the election season.
“To win the senatorial seat is now between N1.2bn. you need
N1 or 2bn to win a Senate seat. To win a house of Rep, you need another
1billion.
“State House of Assembly you need N500 million. Governorship
depends on the state. For Delta State you need like about N20bn, for Rivers you
need a 25 billion. For some of those states in the North maybe 4 or 5 or 6
billion naira.
“So it’s a capital intensive project, which is what is
driving the corruption in our country right now. So anytime somebody is in
office, the person is not thinking of education, except if whatever he wants to
do in education will provide some money that they can leverage on when the time
for election comes”, he disclosed.
