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.”
