Nigerian comedian Ali Baba has condemned the current Nigerian constitution, calling it a crap while also saying progress can not be made using the current constitution.
The ace comedian revealed this during an interview with Chude. He said the constitution is one of the reasons he has not run for any political office in the country.
Talking to Chude, while answering a question about why he is not in government, with all his links and connections politically.
“First of all, it is that our constitution is crap, if you bring Obama to run this country with this constitution he will fail, what am saying is that the system is so bad, the constitution needs to be rigid, it is almost pointless running for office with this kind of constitution,” he said.
He said the corrupt system will not bring any progress to the country, and believes the national assembly is where the problem lies. To the comedian, he can’t keep a secret so whatever money he is given he will publicise everything to Nigerians.
“For example after appointment, if you give me #300M I will tell everyone that they gave me #300M and I am whacking this one first, you see at the national assembly, the guy who revealed that our budget is being padded, what happened to the guy, they removed him, he didn’t see the light of day” he said.
He believes he won’t last for one year, even if he was given the highest post in any administration, making reference to the Nigerian civil service.
“Most of them survive on the corruption of their leaders, so anyone who protest the hardship will not last”
Ali Baba also revealed that he got a hint that Obasanjo wanted him to be minister of information and culture, but he was told that he needs to to talk to some people and make some payments before he will be made a minister, but he refused it.
