....tells Tinubu

The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party and Former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi, on Saturday, tasked President Bola Tinubu to reverse the sudden increase in the price of fuel, which according to Peter Obi, has further added to the hardship faced by Nigerians


Obi described the sudden increase by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, as insensitive, saying there is growing confusion about the role of NNPCL and regulatory bodies in determining the price of fuel in the country.

Vanguard reported that NNPCL announced the hike in fuel prices days after giving the nod to oil marketers to lift petroleum products from Dangote Refinery, ending its role as the sole off-taker of the petrol from the refinery.

Peter Obi, dissatisfied with the hike, expressed his sadness via his verified handle on X, said Nigerians continue to groan under extremely difficult economic conditions, largely caused by the Federal Government’s wrong policy choices

He wrote: “As Nigerians continue to groan under extremely difficult economic conditions, largely caused by the Federal Government’s wrong policy choices, the NNPCL has once again raised the price of fuel (PMS) without providing any explanation.

“This is both unfortunate and insensitive, considering the wide-ranging negative consequences for our economic survival and well-being.


“This is neither how an economy’s resources should be managed nor how a nation should be governed. In this new measure, there is neither sound economics nor necessary comion.

“We are told that the NNPCL is now a limited liability company, regulated by agencies such as the NUPRC and NMDPRA, yet there seems to be growing confusion about the roles and responsibilities of the NNPCL and these regulating bodies.

“Interestingly, both the NNPCL and the regulatory agencies are supposed to be under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources, with the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria serving as the substantive Minister. Who, in this arrangement, is regulating who?

“With the unprecedented but avoidable hardship that Nigerians are enduring, the responsibility for providing a full explanation, offering alternative options, and most importantly, reversing the sudden price hike falls squarely on the Honorable Minister of Petroleum Resources/President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“We hope and pray that he acts in the best interest of the majority of Nigerians, who are living under unnecessarily precarious conditions, and that he does so before his return from his working vacation.

“To casually inflict such a draconian measure on the populace from the comfort of an annual vacation amounts to taking the people’s welfare lightly and for granted. A New and more comionate Nigeria is indeed Possible!”

During the campaign Obi said he was going to remove the subsidy once he was elected.. ,and obviously the Subsidy removal is where the sudden increase in the price of fuel and other things came from.

So what exactly is Obi saying after all the President is doing the same thing he wanted to do

With due respect sirs, some yorubas and brain washed elements who voted for Tinubu out of Tribal sentiments and selfish reasons still won't agree with you, rather they'll resort to calling you names.

It's a huge shame to still have some people still jumping out to defend this Tinubu of a man. I ed and gladly voted for this man but I strongly believe now that he's even more clueless than Buhari.
The only reform that can stand and even outlast any government in Nigeria is to eliminate corruption in the police and empower the judiciary as well.
If these two can perform efficiently and optimally, it shall be well with the country.
When our laws become no respecter of any individuals, like in the western countries, that's the time we'll have a cause to celebrate.

The truth is that, Tinubu is not yet stop. We should be ready for more increment in few weeks. Tinubu is not a man of integrity. The man is stone hearted. Even if he begin to see deads litering the street, he won't care. The man has no feelings whatsoever. Masses should brace up
