Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), has claimed that the middle class no longer exits under President Bola Tinubu’s government.
Falana also questioned Tinubu’s economic reforms, warning that his “harsh neoliberal policies” have only seen an increase in poverty.
The human rights lawyer who appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, also claimed that Tinubu has handed Nigeria’s resources to a few people.
According to Falana, this has widen the gap of income inequality in the country.
“You cannot be addressing income inequality in a country while handing over the nation’s resources to a few people in the name of privatisation.
“Most Nigerians cannot afford three square meals a day.
“The middle class has been wiped out by the neoliberal policies of the government,” he said.
Falana cautioned that “it is in the interest of the government to review its policies as soon as possible.”
