The Ogun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has attacked decisions of the President Muhammadu Buhari led government over the increase in price of Premium Motor Spirit.
In a statement issued by Malik Ibitoye,
the party's Publicity Secretary in the state, tPDP condemned the
increase in price of fuel from N86 to N145 per litre saying the
'President hates the Nigerian masses.'
The party
through Ibitoye further said that the President Buhari-led government is
not only anti-people but undemocratic as it has been displayed in his
array of policies.
According to the statement,
"the Federal Government of Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) has once again demonstrated its
hatred for the Nigerian masses and the downtrodden people of Nigeria.
"Just
a few weeks to the celebration of its first anniversary in office, the
Buhari-led government officially increased pump price of Premium Motor
Spirit from N86 to N145 to the chagrin of millions of Nigeria," the
statement began.
Continuing, Ibitoye said, 'It
must be noted that the APC-led government has constantly displayed its
arbitrariness with the brazen manner it has been churning out
anti-people policies one of which is this latest onslaught on the
people.
'It is unthinkable that Buhari's
government would ever thought of foisting increase in fuel pump price on
Nigerians, who have been made to go through months of fuel scarcity and
hyper-inflation in the last couple of months.
'Our
fears are that it would not stop at that as petrol price may go beyond
N200 per litre in the next few months because we could see the
marketers jubilating that they have won the battle,' the statement read.
