Femi Falana, human rights lawyer, says the administration of
President Muhammadu Buhari has brought unprecedented depression and hardship
into the country.
He said the living standards of Nigerians are getting worse,
adding that the incumbent administration has left the citizens in a state of
frustration.
Falana said this on Tuesday during the Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC) solidarity protest for the ongoing ASUU strike, which held in
Ikeja, Lagos.
He also made reference to the president’s statement that he is eager to leave office.
“The living standards
of our people are getting worse by the day. We didn’t vote for a regime to
cause hardship in Nigeria and that is what is going on,” he said.
“As we are gathered here today, terrorism has taken over our
country. Hardship has taken over our country. Depression has taken over our
country.
“Recession has taken over our country, but President Buhari
is junketing all over the world. He’s already told Nigerians that he’s tired
and he’s anxious to go home. We are therefore saying today that Buhari must go.
“For the lecturers in
our tertiary institutions and other workers, we are fully with you. Like our
comrades have said this is a warning protest, #EndSars protest will be a
child’s play, because we’re tired and frustrated and disenchanted. And I join
our comrades in saying that enough is enough.
“Don’let them deceive you by saying there is no money in our
country. It’s a lie.
“We reject the dubious economic programmes of this regime.
We reject the neoliberal policy of this regime. We can’t continue promoting
poverty in the midst of plenty.”
