Okogie noted that given the severity of the status quo of the socio-economic and political situation, it was shocking that the government claimed that the Nigerian people never had it so good.

Sahara Reporters also reports that the cleric further noted that while it is true that Nigeria's problems did not start under Buhari's administration, the country seems to have worsened economically and politically in these past six years.

He said the sad part is that there is no articulate coordinated response from the government to stem the downward trends.

Okogie urged the Buhari administration to retrace its steps to avoid anarchy, adding the Buhari-led administration over its ban of Twitter in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie faulted the disobedience to court orders by the federal government as he said the action is reminiscent of the dark days of the military in Nigerian politics.

It was reported that the Catholic priest made the assertion in a statement he released on Friday, December 13.

According to him, disobeying court orders and humiliating the judiciary were the practices of military juntas who had no regard for the rule of law.
