Renowned human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has decried the unprecedented depression and hardship in Nigeria, blaming the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari for the worsening living standards of Nigerians.
Falana said this on Tuesday during the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) solidarity protest for the ongoing ASUU strike held in the Lagos capital, Ikeja.
“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,” he said.
