Professor of Political Economy, Pat Utomi, has announced that he will no longer seek any political office in Nigeria. He also stated clearly that he will not accept any government appointment or contract. Utomi made this known during an interview on Politics Today aired Friday on Channels Television. “Let me state clearly: I will not run for public office, I will not accept an appointment, contract by any government in Nigeria. My only concern is the well-being of the next generation. “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 a contract’,” Utomi said.
