A political activist, Aisha Yesufu, has stated why the government would think Nigerians are not suffering amidst the hardship in the land.

In a post on her verified X handle on Saturday, Yesufu said the people suffering are the ones at the forefront of defending the current administration.

DAILY POST reports that Nigerians have complained of escalated hardship since the coming on board of President Bola Tinubu in May 29, 2023.

Recall that the president during his inaugural speech announced the removal of fuel subsidy, which by extension affected every sector of the economy.

“Why won’t the government say Nigerians are lying when they say there is suffering in the land?

“The same people suffering are the ones at the forefront of defending the government,” she said.

Quoting a human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, the co-founder of BringBackOurGirls said it is baffling that a person that does not have N1 million to pay his house rent is defending a regime that has wrecked the country’s economy and impoverished Nigerians.
