A renowned Political Economist, Pat Utomi, has disclosed that Northern mafias are working round the clock to ensure the replacement of President Muhammadu Buhari, and his Vice, Yemi Osinbajo.
Utomi noted that members of the mafia who are not more than 60 persons, had been determining Nigeria’s fortunes for the past 51 years, adding that, elections into public offices were merely ceremonial.
Utomi, a former Presidential aspirant, spoke on the topic: “Healing a bleeding nation,” in Lagos, during a Public Lecture organised by the Evangelical Christian Union Alumni Fellowship.
He said: “Today’s Politicians are mentally ill-equipped. The late Chief Obafemi Awolowo was surrounded by Intellectuals and Professors. These days, the opposite is the case. Pimps accompany our Politicians. This ‘class of capture’ has inflicted an anti-intellectual culture on the country.

“The club of capture can be grouped into three categories. The first is the moderniser wannabes. The value system of this category sabotaged their desire.
“The second are the narcissistic influencers, who are so consumed by their self-love.
“These people are contented with whoever is in power, so far they can appoint the Oil Minister and others. The last are the entitlement-minded ones. Nigeria has become the entitlement of the last category.
“When those in the club of capture lose legitimacy, they look for ways to circumnavigate. They look for weak persons to push into positions of authorities, so they don’t lose their grip on power.
“Nigeria has suffered from power capture for 51 years. Less than 60 persons have been deciding our fortunes for the past 51 years.
“When President Muhammadu Buhari traveled abroad for medical vacation, they (club of capture ) gathered people together, to decide who would be President and Vice President. There has never really been an election in Nigeria. But there is hope for Nigeria.”
