The poor is are the ones mostly affected by this economic recession

Speaking to the congregation who attended Church Service at St Matthew Catholic Church, Uratta, Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo State, he also said that the poor who are more in number are neglected. He said: “In this country,
the rich no longer care for the poor.

The rich want to get richer and they want the poor to remain at that level of their suffering. Let me tell you, our country is in recession because of the marginalization of the rich against the poor. The government is not playing their role to stop this suffering of Nigerians.

“Imagine that the Dollar is increasing on a daily basis to the extent that only the rich can now place their hands on the Dollar,  making it very difficult for the poor to survive going by the increase in price of the various commodities in our markets.” 

Furthermore, he said that the situation faced by Nigerians could not be justified, as such economic hardships could have been averted if only transparency and due process were adhered to by the leaders. “All of you, who have found yourself in this situation should hold on to God. 

The situation against the poor can never be justified. The rich has refused to put smile on the faces of the poor. I pray that God will intervene in your condition” he said.
