‎Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has said that Nigerian politicians are only patriotic when they are in office but become ‘predators’ after leaving office. ‎‎She lamented that, in office, politicians detest criticism of the poor governance they were offer to Nigerians and tag any critic as enemy of the country. When they are in office, they are patriotic about Nigeria but outside of office they are not patriotic. ‎‎“If you consider the kind of hollowing out of the Nigeria state that we have experienced in the last couple of years, then you should know that we are sleepwalking. ‎‎“Elections after elections in Nigeria there is a complete collapse of human dignity.
