Social Democratic Party (SDP) House of Representatives candidate in Ibadan North East/ Ibadan South East federal constituency, Mr Deji Aboderin, on Monday said politics of stomach infrastructure cannot take Nigeria out of its current problems.
The SDP chieftain who said this while speaking during a live radio programme in Ibadan declared that the belief that the electorate must be given money before they cast their votes cannot take Nigeria to anywhere.
Mr Aboderin stressed that electorates in the country should look for candidates who would implement people-oriented projects for the good of all instead of nursing the idea of ‘Dibo Kosebe’ (vote to collect money for soup).
“The politics of Dibo Kosebe (Stomach infrastructure) cannot take us anywhere. When people brought money during the elections and our people are saying that they cannot vote without collecting money, that is Dibo Kosebe, that cannot take us anywhere” he said.
Mr Aboderin added, “any National Assembly member that is not fighting for the interest of the people especially the women aged and the youth do not know what he or is doing.”
Tasking the electorate should jettison the idea of stomach infrastructure during elections, the SDP House of Representatives candidate in Ibadan North East/ Ibadan South East federal constituency, urged them to focus more on antecedents of candidates and what each candidate have to offer instead of collecting money before they vote.
“You talked about water, one of the major needs of the people in Ibadan North East) Ibadan South East is water. Many people in these areas are suffering because of water. I am going there to speak on behalf of the people. I know the problem of my people and I want to represent them well”.
