In a recent interview with
Vanguard, Bayelsa born senator-elect, Ben Murray Bruce opened up on why he is
fighting the elite. He blamed the political leaders in various parties for the
woes bedeviling the country.
In his words...
“I am fighting against the elite.
Definitely, I am fighting them. When they drink that champagne that can educate
a child, they should know that I am fighting them. You don’t fly a first class
in government while in your private life, you fly economy. I am totally against
their lifestyles.“We need to enact laws that favour the masses. The biggest
problem in Nigeria today is that our consumption is on the high while
production is low. Our leaders in APC, PDP, Labour, APGA and others are all
guilty of one thing, which is consuming the resources of the majority of
Nigerians”.
He continued:
“Imagine a situation where
governors fly private jets, commissioners drive a twenty million naira car.
Commissioners flying first class, living like kings while the state cannot pay
salary of its workers. If a commissioner can have three or four policemen
around him, who is policing the poor where they are being raped, maimed, robbed
and killed? The question is what do we have for the masses? There are one
hundred million people living on two dollars a day, in some places, the
unemployment rate is 80 0r 90% and then you have governors living a champagne
life. Small wonders in some places, thieves steal N50, N200, fishing nets and
destroy the lives of the people”.
Suddenly, he wakes up from his slumber? Shm! attention seeker
