Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has said President
Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has brought depression and hardship.
Falana stated this while speaking at the Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC) protest in Lagos on Tuesday.
He also made reference to Buhari’s remarks 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,” Falana 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’t 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.”
