You can\u2019t move without being kidnapped. I have been kidnapped for four days on my own farm,\u201d he said, insisting that the SDP is the hope of Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cControlling government is not a controlling party. Ask the parties, what is their philosophy, they don\u2019t know it, they don\u2019t have a plan, that\u2019s why things are getting worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI travelled to Lagos on foot as a young man without being kidnapped. But at 77, I was kidnapped,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n<p>Falae said that one big problem with the Nigerian political system was that the political parties do not have philosophy and laid out plans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSDP is the only party that can restructure and revive Nigeria. More people will leave the country if things are not put right. More doctors are leaving,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
