Nigeria’s democracy not only for politicians – Ezekwesili to NASS

Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili on Saturday
warned that Nigeria’s democracy is not for politicians alone.

 

Ezekwesili accused the Senate and House of Representatives
of provoking Nigerians suffering hardship, stressing that “water go totally
pass garri”.

 

She disclosed this in a series of post on her X page.

 

According to Ezekwesili: “This Democracy belongs to the
Nigerian People and not to an insignificant percentage of our population known
as Politicians.

 

“One Day soon, the People will STARE down at you all that
think Nigeria exists to give you a luxurious life at the expense of the
country.

 

“The tone deafness towards the pain and anger in this Land
is not sustainable. That’s for sure.

 

“It appears like the latest hobby of the

@nassnigeria and the @NGRPresident and @NigeriaGov is to
engage in serial provocation of hard-pressed citizens who are barely managing
to keep heads above water in this crisis-economy.

 

“In a season of famine and leanness when public officials
should set the example of fiscal prudence, the sensibilities of our citizens
are daily assaulted with the self-indulgent lives of politicians- many of whom
were in fact not credibly elected into office.

 

“For how long can you folks @NGRSenate and @HouseNGR sustain
this level of insensitivity?

 

“As they say in my place, “use your tongue to count your
teeth” because a Day shall soon come when at the rate you’re all going with
public resources, “water go totally pass garri”.
