Political economist and former presidential candidate Pat Utomi says the just-concluded Osun State governorship election demonstrates that “evil has an expiry date.” In posts on X, he argues that the election shows even people he describes as “unworthy” can be used to stop a destructive momentum, which he calls a “train.”
Both outlets report that Utomi frames the election as part of a broader warning about politics in Nigeria. He references public anger and economic hardship, saying those who dismiss citizens’ frustration or rely on propaganda risk consequences. One outlet adds that his comments reflect ongoing debate about the Osun poll results and what they may mean for national politics. Neither outlet provides detailed electoral data or specific allegations of wrongdoing, focusing instead on Utomi’s remarks and their interpretation in the public sphere.
