Senator Dino Melaye has threatened to mobilise Nigerians for a protest if the Buhari led administration does not reverse the increase in fuel pump price.
The
Federal Government announced the removal of fuel subsidy, and the
subsequent increase in the pump price of fuel to N145 per litre on
Wednesday, May 11, 2016.
The Senator on his Facebook page, said “My
sincere advise is for the National Chairman of our party to suggest
that the federal government immediately reverse the announced increase
in the pump price of PMS. If after seven days from Monday, there is no
reversal, I will mobilize Nigerians from all walks of life for the
mother of all protest.
“This is not what
we promised Nigerians. The time is not right and the negative effects
will be unbearable. A word is enough for the wise.”
Reports say Senator Shehu Sani has also rejected the government’s decision to increase fuel price.
Governor Fayose also accused President Buhari of playing with the lives of Nigerians.
The
Ekiti state Governor wondered why the government would increase the
pump price of petrol at this time when Nigerians are going through
economic hardship.
