Nigerian political analyst Isaac Fayose has lambasted the Federal Government (FG) for asking Nigerians to cope with the nation’s economic difficulties.
Fayose made the comments in response to a video that showed Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike’s convoy while he was in Rivers State.
He questioned the minister’s convoy’s size, claiming that the costs were out of line with appeals for Nigerians to put up with the country’s current economic struggles.
Read his post below;
“The federal government of Nigeria is telling you and I to manage For now because the economy is down But look at their convoy look at the minister’s convoy. Look at the convoy of people that are managing our money.
Look at the convoy they are using. When you can’t manage your money, look at the convoy of people that are managing your money.
Look at, the fuel alone to fuel this convoy a day Look at how many cars they are using ordinary minister in a country where this minister does not have any industry even Dangote the richest man in Africa does not go in this convoy But the minister ordinary minister former governor that never have industry does never have anything.
Look at the way they are living Do they remove your own brain? Are you going to be stupid forever? Are you going to follow suit?”
The disparity between the amount of resources allocated to senior government officials and the economic sacrifices required of Nigerians has been highlighted by Fayose’s remarks.
The critique coincides with ongoing public worries about the nation’s households’ financial strain and the growing cost of living.
