Former Minister of Education of Nigeria, Obiageli Katryn Ezekwesili has criticized the spending habit of the Tinubu led administration on luxuries while the nation is languishing in debt.
She highlighted the hunger Nigeria citizens are experiencing which triggered the EndBadGovernance protest and how the demands of the protesters were ignored by the government.
Ezekwesili made this statement in a post she shared on her X handle on Tuesday titled “The Obscene Indulgence of our Political and Public Officials in a Season of Famine”.
She wrote, “What a big shame on the@NigeriaGovof@NGRPresident@officialABAT and the lawmakers@nassnigeria!
” The worst display of Fiscal Rascality is when political and public leaders of a country that is highly overburdened with Debts of all kinds, choose to spend scarce public resources on prestige projects and luxuries.
” Imagine the@NGRPresident and his Vice,@NGRSenate and@HouseNGR of @nassnigeria and the Governors of mostly unviable 36 States enjoying obscene luxuries while asking the Poor “to sacrifice for the future”.
“Something will have to give someday soon, because this level of unjust governance is frankly not sustainable.
“The Class War that members of the Nigerian political class are asking for by their insensitivity to the plight of the people will for sure end their fiscal rascality. Again, this level of unjust governance is frankly not sustainable.
“For one, the current Citizens’ restiveness will remain with us no matter how much the folks in@NigeriaGov pretend that it is not hunger that drove citizens into the massive #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests,”she stated.
