Utomi, a professor of political economy, made this description when he featured in an interview that aired on ARISE TV on Saturday.
His words, “I despise people who live on politics. I think that people who make a career in life based on politics are doing society a disservice.
I have said that nobody should hold public office for more than 12 consecutive years. You go from a commissioner to the governor, senator; you are a social parasite.
“You should come out of your hard work, make a difference for four to eight years and go back to what you do. If it’s not like that for you, you are a parasite to society. The characters making it difficult to make progress are social parasites who call themselves politicians.”
