Senator Francis Okpozo has urged the duo of Obasanjo and Anenih to leave politics for the younger generation. Okpozo also accused them of distracting President Jonathan stating that their political ambition is borne out of “selfish interests”.
The lawmaker decried the perpetual manipulative “political powers” constantly wielded by the PDP stalwarts. “despite calls in some quarters that they should allow the younger generation take over the leadership of the nation, “they have continued to stay put and manipulate the system” Okpozo lamented.
He also described as senseless and greedy, the appointment of Chief Tony Anenih as chairman of Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, and called on Chief Anenih and former President Olusegun Obasanjo to allow the young generation a chance.
“Obasanjo and Anenih, who have been in the politics of this nation for long, are still coming today to take over from these small boys, who are supposed to take charge politically today, it means they are not serious. The only meaning that can be attached to their action is selfishness, greed, and it is time for them to quit politics because of their age.
“They have made money, they have tasted power, they are old now like me, they have children, they have so many investments. Why are they not contented and leave politics for the younger generations? Greed destroys a man and I advise both of them to stay clear from President Jonathan. They should not play politics with Jonathan.” Okpozo said.
