Political economist Pat Utomi has reacted to the recently concluded Osun State governorship election, saying the outcome has demonstrated that what he described as evil cannot last forever.

Utomi suggested that the election also showed that even people he considers “unworthy” can sometimes play a role in stopping what he described as the “train.”

Utomi Speaks on Election Outcome

In a post shared on X, the former presidential candidate reflected on the lessons he believed could be drawn from the election.

“If Osun elections proved a point, it is that evil has an expiry date and that even the unworthy can be used to stop the train.

“Righteousness does indeed exalt a nation and its opposite is a reproach to any people.

“Those who ignore the anger, hunger in the land and on the streets, and who believe their own propaganda, risk much in the rage of a people.

“These people who watched them make their once admired country, the ‘now disgraced’ carry pain hard to forget. Consequences abound.

“Nigeria is far too dear and the dreams of the founding fathers far too important for citizens to surrender in the face of narcissistic politicians.”
