Senator Shehu Sani has insinuated that the poor are the worst hit by the current economic hardship, while the rich are insulated from economic woes.
Sani, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former lawmaker, made the assertion via his verified Twitter handle on Tuesday.
Sani wrote: “In our country, the rich are in the Noah’s Ark and the poor are in the Titanic.”
The cost of living in the country soared after the pump price of fuel skyrocketed to N612 per litre last week.
The United States dollar also gained massively against the Nigerian naira in the exchange market recently.
