Osun poll proves evil has expiry date, says Utomi

Political economist and former presidential candidate, Prof. Pat Utomi, has claimed that the recent Osun State governorship election demonstrated that "evil has an expiry date." Utomi expressed this conviction in a post on social media platform X, arguing that even the "unworthy" could be used to halt progress. He emphasized that the election reinforced his belief in the importance of righteousness for national advancement.

"Righteousness does indeed exalt a nation and its opposite is a reproach to any people," Utomi stated. He also criticized governors who abandoned their parties, deeming their actions a significant embarrassment in the context of the Osun election. Utomi further accused these governors of betraying the people, suggesting that they would eventually face consequences for their actions.
