Former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani has slammed the All Progressives Congress-led federal government over a report by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) stating that 133 million Nigerians are multi-dimensionally poor.
The report explained that the poverty was due to a lack of access to health, education, living standards, employment and security.
The NBS also revealed that out of the 65% of poor people— 86 million—live in the North, while 35%—nearly 47 million— live in the South.
Reacting to the report via his Twitter account, Sani stated that APC who promised to lift millions from poverty have successfully thrown one hundred and thirty three million people into deeper poverty.
