Monetisation of politics is eroding our political system - Bisi Akande

Chief Bisi Akande, former Interim National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says the development of Nigeria’s political system is being curtailed by what he called monetisation of politics.

Akande, stated this in a remark on Friday at the meeting of Osun APC Elders Forum also known as ‘Agba Osun’ in his country home, Ila. According to Akande monetisation of politics should be urgently curtailed because the practice has eroded the core values of politics in the country. Akande, a former governor in the state, also urged the APC leadership to continue to uphold the politics of service to the people. “No matter the pressure being promoted by the general outlook of corruption that forms the foundation of the problems in the country, we must not deviate from service to the people.
