Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose has lambasted Save Nigeria Group who protested fuel price hike during the administration of former Nigeria President Goodluck Jonathan in 2012.
Fayose on his twitter handle, @GovAyoFayose, condemned the rationale for increase in pump price, adding that there was no justification for the hike.
“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.
He added that he warned Nigerians on the expectations of having Buhari as president during the countdown to the 2015 presidential polls.
“Just in case those who led the Save Nigeria protests across Nigeria during the PDP government of Jonathan are not aware. I warned.
“Please be informed that a new product price adjustment has been effected on our payment platform.
“To this end, the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) is now one hundred and N151.56k per litre,” the statement noted.
It was gathered that the change in the fuel price will take effect from September 2, 2020.
