A former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has lamented the increase of petrol pump price by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, today, Wednesday.
Recall, that D. O. Abalaka, the Depot Manager, Pipelines and Products Marketing Company, PPMC, a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, announced the new increment in the pump price of fuel in a statement today.
Reacting however, via his Twitter handle, @GovAyoFayose, the former Governor regretted that such is happening in Nigeria, at a time other countries are adopting measures to cushion the effects of the Covid-19 lockdown on their citizens.
He equally mocked Nigerians, who took to the streets to protest across the country during the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, government of former President Goodluck Jonathan, saying that he warned them.
His words: “Petrol is now N151.56. The increment was made when other countries are adopting measures to reduce the effects of Covid-19 lockdown on their citizens.
“Just in case those who led the Save Nigeria protests across Nigeria, during PDP government of Jonathan are not aware.
“I warned.”
