David Umahi, thatIfoh said, “This administration’s policies have over the last one year have been targeted at making the poor poorer and the rich richer at the expense of hardworking, but poorly remunerated citizens.

“It is not longer news that this policy is largely responsible for the galloping inflation, rising poverty and the volatility of the Naira against major foriegn currencies. “Obviously not satisfied with the suffering this has inflicted on Nigerians, the Minister of Works just announced a decision to toll the 700 km Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road.“All of these has not stopped the administration from reckless borrowing most of these borrowed funds end up being looted by officials with itchy fingers.”

Ifoh further said, “The various financial scandals involving ministers and other government officials attest to this fact.“We can’t continue to run our economy like an exploitative business enterprise. “At the rate, this administration is going, Nigerians will soon start paying for the air we breathe.”
