National President of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights, CDHR, Dr Osagie Obayuwana, has decried the state of the nation and raised an alarm that Nigeria is in deep depression.
Speaking at the 2023 Annual General Conference of the CDHR, in Ilorin, Kwara State, on Saturday, Osagie, lamented that citizens of the country were now going through unprecedented socio-economic hardships ever known in the history of the country. He declared that the palliative introduced by the government in the wake of the removal of fuel subsidy was not enough to rescue or cushion the hardship Nigerians are now going through.
' Nigeria used to have millionaires but now, we have trillionaires' apparently referring to the deep corruption in the country now while the masses are suffering. He said the CDHR has resolved to defend the rights of Nigerians and that the masses must stand by the human rights body. ' Let us play our roles as citizens of the country, for us to have a Nigeria that will serve the people,' he added.
