A professor of Political Economy, Pat Utomi, has said that he would never seek any political office in Nigeria again.
Utomi made this statement on Friday in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.
The professor also said that he won’t accept any appointment or contract by any Nigerian government.
“Let me state clearly, I will not run for public office, I will not accept an appointment, contract by any government in Nigeria. My only concern is the well-being of the next generation.
“I have lived my life decently without government money or stealing anybody’s thing. I want to take that away from people who talk nonsense like, ‘Oh, he is looking for contract,” he stated.
