A former governor of Anambra State and the vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in 2019 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, has described Nigeria as a sad irony where political thugs earn more than professors.
Obi stated this on Wednesday during the presentation of a book authored by Prof Chinyere Okunna of the Department of Mass Communication, Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka, Anambra State.
He said Nigeria would not make any progress if bandits were considered above intellectuals.
