The Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has condemned the decision of the Federal Government to increase the price of petrol from N86.50 to N145 by removing fuel subsidy.
This was contained in a statement by Fayose’s Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, where he accused the government of causing fuel scarcity in the country in order to increase the price.
He described the price increase as insensitive and a demonstration of the level of hatred the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress government had for Nigerians.
“Nigerians are now left at the mercy of political liars who took over power by deception and are governing by deceit.”
“When they were seeking votes from Nigerians, they promised to reduce petrol pump price from N87 to N45 per litre, they promised to create three million jobs per year, they said $1 will be equal to N1 and above all, they promised to pay unemployed youths N5, 000 stipends and provide one meal a day to pupils nationwide.
“Instead of fulfilling their promises, they have increased petrol pump price to N145 per litre, increased electricity tariffs, retrenched thousands of workers and imposed untold hardships on Nigerians.
“As they did in 2012, if labour leaders do not also stand up for the people at this time, posterity will not forgive them.”
