Arise News TV Host Blasts Senators for Mocking Poor Nigerians with Tinubu’s Slogan

Rufai Oseni, a host of Arise News TV, has expressed his displeasure with the Nigerian senators for making fun of the suffering Nigerians with the slogan ‘Let the poor breathe’. The slogan was coined by President Bola Tinubu.

In a video that went viral online, a senator who spoke during the plenary session said, “The speech of Mr president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, that says let the poor breathe, my president, distinguished colleagues, let the poor breathe that is my additional prayer”.

The senate president, Godswill Akpabio, responded, “Your prayer is that let the poor breathe and Senator Mustapha has seconded that the poor should breathe, those in support that the poor should breathe say hiiii”.

The Nigerian senators then echoed hiiii in unison.

Oseni, who was visibly angry with the senators’ behaviour, slammed them for mocking Nigerians during the Arise News morning show on Friday, July 28.

He said that many people have been facing hard times and suffering since the increase in fuel prices and forex. He also said that the senators are out of touch with the reality of many Nigerians who are walking on the streets and unable to afford the next meal.

Oseni warned the senators that they should not take the suffering and hungry masses for granted. He said that they should look at nearby countries to see what happens when politicians ignore the people’s needs and demands.

He said that the senators should be ashamed of themselves for playing with people’s lives and emotions. He urged them to be more sensitive and compassionate towards Nigerians.
