He said that these people had become overnight politicians upon taking up political positions.
He said that the billionaires had got their wealth to the detriment of a great population of Nigerians who still remain below poverty level.
He called for politicians to invest in infrastructure in order to create jobs and reduce crime.
“I know politicians who have suddenly become billionaires, and this is the money that should have been used to build roads and provide amenities that could have been used to improve the lives of citizens. Our politicians have to be clear on how they intend to lift people out of poverty,” he said.
