President Muhammad Buhari has vow to retire old politician, before the end of his second term in office.
According to him,”Insha Allah, by the time I am done with my second term, I must have retired 90% of these old politicians. They are the problem with Nigeria… How can someone devote his entire life to politics as his occupation. Take politics out of their lives, they are frustrated. To them politics is a business venture; a quick way of making money.
The president also lament on how some people’s has taken politics as personal business.
He said, he was surprise to see some politician went and borrow money to come and sponsors their political ambition.
They got it wrong when some people has taken politics as a career, politics is not a career, is like a vocation, the president said.
His statement reads; imagine some people go as far as borrowing monies in form of loans to invest in politics. This is where we got it wrong. Politics is not a career nor occupation, but a vocation. Elsewhere, those who venture into politics are people who have accomplished in their respective fields of endeavour, not a university graduate who is yet to find his feet. They go into politics to serve the people and return to their primary occupation. They don’t go there to enrich themselves. This misconception, we must change, he added.
