Media mogul and senator-elect, Ben Murray Bruce has reveled why he is fighting the elite. In an interview with Vanguard, he said:
"I am fighting against the elite. Definitely, I am fighting them. When they drink that champagne that can educate a child, they should know that I am fighting them. You don't fly a first class in government while in your private life, you fly economy. I am totally against their lifestyles." We need to enact laws that favour the masses. The biggest problem in Nigeria today is that our consumption is on the high while production is low. Our leaders in APC, PDP, Labour, APGA and others are all guilty of one thing, which is consuming the resources of the majority of Nigerians.
Imagine a situation where governors fly private jets, commissioners drive a twenty million naira car. Commissioners flying first class, living like kings while the state cannot pay salary of its workers. If a commissioner can have three or four policemen around him, who is policing the poor where they are being raped, maimed, robbed and killed? The question is what do we have for the masses? There are one hundred million people living on two dollars a day, in some places, the unemployment rate is 80 or 90% and then you have governors living a champagne life. Small wonders in some places, thieves steal N50, N200, fishing nets and destroy the lives of the people".
