Speaking on Monday, June 9, during Channels Television’s Politics Today, Falana criticised top officials in the All Progressives Congress (APC) for celebrating Tinubu’s two years in office, arguing that most Nigerians are trapped in deepening hardship.
“For members of the government, and I’m talking of top officials, it’s been very rosy. One of them was singing a week ago that things are getting better,” Falana said.
“Of course, for the rich, the bourgeoisie, things are getting better. But for the masses of our people, things are getting tougher because they are going through an excruciating economic crisis.”
Since taking office in May 2023, Tinubu has introduced key economic reforms, including unifying Nigeria’s exchange rates and scrapping the fuel subsidy. These moves triggered a sharp rise in energy costs, transport fares, food prices, and overall living expenses.
