The recent increase
in the price of fuel from N86 to N145 is the most incensate, unsympathetic and
anti-people decision the PMB government has yet taken in its flip-flop one year
of clueless and directionless govt. At a time Nigerians are already groaning under
a grotesque over 500% increase in prices of ordinary consumables with the
miserly non living wage of N18,000.00 unaltered, it is inconceivable that the
government will add to the pains, anguish, pangs and sufferings of ordinary
Nigerians whose only crime is that they “voted” for “change”.

This government has
indecently reversed all its promises to the Nigerian people, treating them as
inconsequential nonentities in its governance index. It is not about whether
there are advantages in the increase. It is simply about honour, dignity and
integrity in fulfilling election promises, which constitute a pact, pactum sunt servanda (agreements must be
respected) with the Nigerian people.
It is commonsensical that a fall in the international price of crude oil should
only lead to a further fall in the prices of PMS in Nigeria
