Nigerian human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has criticised the economic direction of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying it is only in favour of those in power and not the poor.
Falana made the statement on Monday during an interview on Channels TV, where he described the government’s policies as selectively beneficial and largely detrimental to the average Nigerian.
He stated that for those in power, the bourgeoisie, things are getting better.
However, for the masses, things are getting tougher because they are going through an excruciating economic crisis.
“For members of the government — and I’m talking of top officials — it’s been very rosy. One of them was singing a week ago that things are getting better,” he said.
“People are hungry,” he said, stressing that the economic hardship experienced by the masses contrasts sharply with the apparent comfortable you enjoyed by those in power.
