By Abimbola Ologun
Subsequent to the loot that took place at the Government Warehouse in Abuja on Sunday, a senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa have expressed her opinion stating that the act perpetrated was a direct message to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led Administration and his economic policies.
The human right lawyer who made this known while speaking at the Channels Television breakfast show, The Morning Brief opined that the looting was a direct reflection of the level of hardship majority of Nigerians is currently grappling with.
Adegboruwa stated that Tinubu and his economic team are saddled with the responsibility of reviewing the current economic policies in other to renew the survival of majority of Nigerians.
His statement reads “Across all states in Nigeria presently there is a crisis of survival from the part of the people. So, it is not just this particular occurrence, a truck bearing foodstuff was randomly attacked and looted. I do not support this in any way at all because we must have an environment where we can secure lives and property.”
“But it is a reflection of the fact that the economic policies of the present administration are not helping the people of the country and of course, these occurrences showcase the frustration that the people are going through.”
“You know what they say that we pray that we don’t get to a position where the poor will rise up to be eating the rich. I think there is a message to the president and members of his economic team that there is a need to rejig the system in such a way that will allow for the survival of the majority of our people.”
Remember that the president removed fuel subsidy as soon as he assumed office as the number one citizen of the country.
Reacting to this, Adegboruwa said, “Effect of the fuel subsidy removal has imposed hardship on the people in terms of moving from one end to the other. And of course, factories are closing down, there is high unemployment, cost of living is very high whilst the earning capacity remains the same or even lower.”
