Ezekwesili condemns lavish spending by Nigerian leaders during economic downturn

Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, on Saturday, launched a scathing attack on Nigeria’s leadership, accusing them of excessive spending habits in the face of a crippling economic crisis.

In a post on X.com on Saturday, Ezekwesili questioned how public officials could justify their lavish lifestyles when many Nigerians were struggling to make ends meet.

She accused the National Assembly, President, and Federal Government of provoking citizens with their self-indulgent behaviour, warning that a day of reckoning would come if they continued to squander public resources.
