Yardua offered me minister’s job but I refused… I won’t accept any appointment, run for election nor seek govt contract —Professor Pat utomi
A professor of Political Economy, Pat Utomi, on Friday declared that he will not run for any elective position ,seek for any political office in Nigeria again.
He stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
Utomi further stated that he won’t accept any appointment or contract by any Nigerian government.
In the words of the political economy professor he said ” Let me state it clearly: I will not run for public office, I will not accept an appointment, collect contract by any government in Nigeria. My only concern is the well-being of the next generation,” he stated.
“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 threw a challenge by asking Nigerians to get in touch with people who knew when late president Yardua offered him a ministerial appointment & he refused!
