Utomi faults APC over alleged extravagance amid hardship

Political economist Pat Utomi criticised the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration over the alleged luxurious lifestyles of public officials while Nigerians face economic hardship. In a post on X on Tuesday, he cited Maybachs, G-Wagons, Rolls-Royces and private jet travel, saying such spending contradicted official claims that Nigeria is poor. The former presidential candidate urged members of the executive and legislature to show restraint in managing public resources. He warned that the contrast could deepen public resentment and perceptions that officials are insensitive to ordinary Nigerians.
