Afe Babalola, a legal luminary, has raised concerns that the upcoming presidential election would be won by the highest spender and not the best among the candidates.
Speaking at a media briefing in Ado Ekiti, the legal luminary expressed worried that the 2023 general elections will be conducted under the 1999 constitution against his advice.
According to him, the election will only produce those who have brought the country to a sordid state.
Reacting to the recent endorsement of the presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi, by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, he said it does not factor in the role money bags will play in the election.
He also said a man who wants rule the whole country or any part of the country ought to be screened, adding that what the person did, what type of work he did, did he steal there, was he a good manager, does he pay his taxes regularly, what contributions has he made to society are the questions that must be asked.
He said, “It is not who can make a difference that will win this election, I repeat, it is not the person who has all it takes – age, health, education, and patriotism, that will win the election; the winner of this election I can bet it, is going to be the person who has made money in this country. It is the person who has the money that will win.
