Popular singer, Orezi has thrown a jab at Nigerian politicians, saying they embezzle billions of naira meant for COVID-19 relief funds.
The ‘Cooking Pot’ singer made this known in reaction to the discovery of COVID-19 palliatives in warehouses across the country amid the turbulence trailing the #EndSARS protest in a post on Sunday.
In the past few days, Lagos, Edo, Plateau, Osun and Kwara have had their COVID-19 palliatives warehouses raided by hoodlums.
Orezi joined a myriad of Nigerians who have slammed governments of the various states affected so far, accusing them of keeping palliatives meant for the people.
He wrote on instagram:“You embezzle billions of naira meant for COVID-19 relief funds for your personal aggrandizement. Like that was not enough, then you also go ahead to deny the people foodstuffs and items that are meant for them!!
“Items that were freely donated to be shared for the people, the height of wickedness. When the Bible says wickedness in high places, it was definitely referring to Nigerian politicians. Nigerian leaders constantly leave my heartbroken. Bunch of wicked leaders with no human feelings whatsoever.
“The only reason politicians do this and have the nerve to sleep well at night is because they are not sleeping in Kirikiri yet. They commit all sort of crimes against the same people who put them in power.
“I repeat until our politicians start going to jail for all these broad daylight crimes with evidence staring at us in the eye, Nigeria will never be great.”
