The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has faulted a campaign platform of President Bola Tinubu, City Boys Movement, over an alleged wasteful and extravagant lifestyle.
A statement by the NDC’s national spokesman, Osa Director, said at a time when Nigerians are going through one of their toughest periods under the rudderless APC-led administration, officials of the City Boys Movement are flying in private jets and living in open luxury.
Director said the ‘tone-deaf conduct’ is a clear testament to how the Tinubu administration views Nigerians and how insensitive and callous it has become.
He said it is the same government that keeps asking Nigerians to endure the pain its own policies have inflicted, while it lives in opulence and squanders taxpayers’ money on lavish lifestyles.
According to him, Nigeria cannot continue to sink in abject poverty while the Tinubu administration funds the luxurious living of a few corrupt and incompetent politicians.
“The nation is at the precipice. We cannot remain perched on the edge. We must collectively reject wastage and the extravagant lifestyle of a privileged few.
“It is our duty as a people and as a nation to say no to the APC by coming out in our numbers to vote them out.
“Nigerians can attest to our presidential candidate’s zero tolerance for government waste. With him in charge of the affairs of this nation, the judicious use of the people’s resources will be guaranteed,” the statement read.
