Nigerian businessman and political commentator Isaac Fayose has criticised FCT Minister Nyesom Wike over the size of his convoy, amid the economic hardship facing Nigerians.
In a video shared online, Fayose questioned why Nigerians are being urged to manage the current economic situation while government officials move around in large convoys.
“The federal government of Nigeria are telling you and I to manage for now because the economy is down. But look at the minister’s convoy,” he said.
Fayose questioned how much fuel would be required to power the numerous vehicles in Wike’s convoy each day, arguing that the resources could be better used to address challenges such as poor roads and healthcare.
He also questioned why a minister and former governor would require such a large convoy, comparing Wike’s security arrangement with that of some of Africa’s wealthiest businessmen.
Fayose urged Nigerians to question how public resources are being used instead of simply accepting the government’s call for them to endure economic hardship
