We've Not Heard Labour Party MPs Talking About Cost Of Living Crisis; They've Fully Sucked In -Majeed Dahiru

As Nigerians continue to groan under the financial hardship occasioned by the soaring cost of petrol across the country, veteran journalist, and public affairs commentator, Alhaji Majeed Dahiru has come out to tackle the Labour Party member of Parliament over their silent about the cost of living crisis in Nigeria.

Majeed Dahiru, paper columnist, said that we have not heard any Labour Party member of parliament talking about the cost of living crisis in Nigeria, but they have completely sucked in.

Majeed Dahiru made the statement during an interview on Africa Independent Television’s ‘Kaakaki’ program on Tuesday, July 18 when he was reacting to a report that, National Assembly will spend 40 billion naira on purchase of SUVs and bulletproof cars.

Majeed Dahiru began by saying that the move to spend 40 billion naira on purchase of cars by the national assembly, is highly insensitive and that it is outrageous for the senate president and his counterpart in the House of Representatives, to be considering that level of expenditure.

In his words, he said, “This is a wasteful expenditure that makes no sense.

“I will begin to say the leaders should not provoke the citizens of this country, am saying this because, It is disappointing that Labour Party members of parliament (MPs) that poor Nigerians voted for and contributed to their win, have not been heard talking about the cost of living crisis in Nigeria, caused by fuel subsidy removal. We have not heard from them talking about need to cut cost of governance in the national assembly. And they have completely sucked in”.
