Human rights activist Mahdi Shehu has strongly criticized the economic policies of President Muhammadu Buhari's APC government, alleging that they have pushed the majority of Nigerians into irreversible bankruptcy while benefiting only a select few, including President Buhari and his close family and friends.
In a post made available on his verified X handle, Shehu accused the APC government, with the support of influential figures like President Bola Tinubu, of implementing policies that have exacerbated economic hardships for ordinary Nigerians. According to Shehu, these policies have enriched a privileged few at the expense of the wider population.
Shehu's remarks underscored growing concerns about economic inequality and the perceived failure of government policies to improve the lives of ordinary Nigerians. The activist's statement reflects broader criticisms of the current administration's economic strategies.
Shehu's reference to "a day is coming" suggests a belief in the eventual accountability of political leaders for their actions. This sentiment resonates with those who advocate for transparency, accountability, and inclusive governance in Nigeria.
The activist's comments are likely to fuel ongoing debates about the impact of government policies on economic inequality and social justice in Nigeria. They also highlight the role of civil society in holding leaders accountable and advocating for policies that prioritize the welfare of all Nigerians.
