Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Mike Ozekhome, has described the current hardship in the country as renewed poverty and not the Renewed Hope mantra of President Bola Tinubu.
Ozekhome lamented that the current situation in Nigeria is poverty at a higher scale.
Featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, on Tuesday, the senior advocate lamented that things have never been this bad.
According to Ozekhome: “This is not renewed hope but renewed poverty, though we have been having poverty before but it’s now renewed on a higher scale.
“Going back to the drawing board, this government should try to rethink outside the box, bring about new innovations.
“Look at what is going on in Argentina and other countries, this government should not think that the mere removal of subsidy was a magical wand we were looking for, I knew it would not work.
“Hunger does not have colour, a hungry man is an angry man and that is why these continued demonstrations are coming up from Ibadan to Osogbo; from Kano to Owerri, and you are saying these are sponsored?
“When the house is on fire, the blind will know because they will fill it; the lame will know because he will hear about it, the dumb will know because they will feel the heat. Let’s not pretend it has never been this bad.”
