Popular Nigerian TV host, Rufai Oseni has lamented over the lifestyle of the ruling party despite the dire economic situation in the country.
Oseni stated that amidst the hyperinflation of commodities, mass unemployment, poverty and hunger brought upon the country by the previous administration, those in power are still having a field day.
Speaking via Twitter, the political critic wondered why the presidency still has a fleet of 11 presidential jets despite the economic crisis the country is experiencing.
Oseni argued that countries far wealthier than Nigeria do not involve themselves in such frivolities.
He wrote, “An already asphyxiating economy reeling under the crushing impact of hyperinflation, unemployment, mass hunger and poverty foisted by the gross ineptitude and incompetence that characterised the watch of eight years is looking like an episode drawn straight out of Dante’s Hell.
“For example, while public officers at all levels move around in endless motorcades of exotic bulletproof foreign cars and the Presidency keeps a fleet of 11 Presidential jets, much richer nations do not indulge in such frivolities.
“This pantomime of ineptitude keeps asphyxiating the aspirations of the citizens, the economic woes capture the moment George Floyd, muttered, “ I can’t breathe”—like Jordan Sparks sings, how am I suppose to live with no air.”
