Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose
on Wednesday blasted President Muhammadu Buhari for jacking up petrol
pump price from N86.50 to N145, describing it as insensitive and a
demonstration of the level of hatred the All Progressives Congress (APC)
government has for Nigerians.
The governor, who said the over 70 per
cent increment was another vindication of his predictions of what to
expect in 2016, added that it was now clear that the scarcity of petrol
being experienced in the last three months was deliberately orchestrated
by the federal government to pave way for the already conceived
increment.
According to his Special Assistant on
Public Communications , Lere Olayinka, Fayose said: “Nigerians are now
left at the mercy of political liars who took over power by deception
and are governing by deceit.”
He said he was waiting for the reaction
of those who took to the streets to protest when fuel subsidy was
removed by the Dr Goodluck Jonathan administration in 2012, urging
labour unions in the country to stand by their members always, not
minding the political party in government.
He said: “When they were seeking for
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 stipend and provide one meal a day to
pupils nationwide.”
