Nigerian media personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, aka Daddy Freeze says he prefers “old thieving” politicians that understand the “system” to novices.
The controversial OAP who was reacting to the suspension of Betta Edu, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, and youngest minister in President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet, over alleged fraud, said inexperience was why she was caught in corruption allegations barely five months in office.
He maintained that he prefers “old politicians” to the youths whom he claimed would “steal the system senselessly”.
Speaking in an Instagram live session with fans, Daddy Freeze said, “I don’t want youths to led Nigeria. I would rather have an old thief that understands the system than a young thief that would just steal the system senselessly. You never do minister work how many months dem Don catch you already.
“At least, other person wey dem dey catch, e dey reach like three years later. Someone who isn’t 40 yet, I’m 10 years older than her [Betta Edu]. She is a proper youth.
“Those you saying you don’t want old people, for me, all this old people whether it’s Tinubu, Atiku or Obi, I prefer them to youths. Nigerian youths? Some of them were born deficient of a conscience.”
