A foremost Nigerian businessman and politician, Chief Suarau Alani Bankole, described imposition of candidates by political parties as the bane of Nigeria’s politics and therefore asked the leading parties in the country to stop the practice in the interest of the populace.
Chief Bankole, who is the father of a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, spoke yesterday in an interview with Daily Trust in Abeokuta, Ogun State. He noted that parties often imposed “wrong candidates” during elections, leaving the voters to choose between “two evils”.
He said, “Imposition of candidates has become the bane of Nigerian politics. It’s so bad because it’s nearly impossible to win an election without belonging to either of the two main political parties. So, people believe they should put their own people there for their own benefit.
"Whereas, it won’t be out of place to expect somebody when he gets to power to do certain things for some people who supported him, but at the same time it should not be at the expense of the public.
“I think what we should be talking about in Nigeria today is to stop imposition of candidates so that we chose popular candidates within their own parties to enable the electorate have choice between good candidates, because if all the parties impose wrong candidates, the populace will have no choice than to pick one of them, and that one may not be good.”

A self-confessed robber and serial r*pist, yesterday revealed why he r*pes women and maids in the presence of their husbands and bosses.
According to him, it is a punishment for refusing to give him money, during operation.
Rather than showing remorse for his action, the suspect, Adeniyi Ajayi, 27, an exconvict, begged the Police to kill him, instead of sending him back to prison. Ajayi, who runs a one-man squad, was arrested by operatives of the Special AntiRobbery Squad, SARS, in a hotel at Ijora 7-up area of Lagos.
His modus operandi was to break into victims’ homes, ordering them to cooperate with him or risk being killed by other members of his gang whom he claimed had surrounded the building.
When news of his arrest filtered round Sabo and its environ, eight victims, some of who were civil servants and lawyers, stormed SARS office to affirm that he r*ped them during operation.
Among them were also two female staff of a company in Sabo, who disclosed that he r"ped them right before their male colleagues, in broad daylight on June 16, 20. During interrogation, he admitted culpability.
He said: "Yes, I r*pe women whose husbands refused to give me money, and those tried to make things difficult for me during operation. I operated alone, with just torchlight. But I would be giving orders to my imaginary gang members, on where to position themselves, just to give the impression that I was not alone.
"The solution to this act is for the Police to waste my life because if they take me to prison, I will come back hardened and I don’t want to keep disturbing Nigerians. It is better they waste my life”.
When asked what he meant by waste his life, he replied, "they should just kill me to end it all."
