Rights activist and President of the Civil Rights Congress of Nigeria, CRCN, Mallam Shehu Sani, yesterday, lampooned President Goodluck Jonathan, saying his ‘’transformation agenda,’’ lacked a human face.

In his May Day message to the workers, entitled The Plight of Nigerians on May Day, yesterday, Sani said: ‘’The Nigerian workers and the non-workers have been betrayed by the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

“The economic focus of the administration is not aimed at transforming the lives of Nigerian working class and non-working people, but aimed at appeasing entrenched interest and foreign interest.

“Nigeria has today sunk deep into the abyss of poverty, pervasive insecurity and corruption and Nigerian workers and non-working masses today bear the brunt. The transformation agenda of the Federal Government has no human face. The N18,000 minimum wage is a mirage and a packaged deception of the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan administration.

“President Jonathan’s economic team is an unwieldy group of henchmen, leeches and supporters of the government with more to do with politics than economics. President Goodluck Jonathan will achieve nothing in the economic sphere as long as he remains shy of tackling corrupt persons.”
