The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to reverse the increase in the pump price of fuel which increased from N159 to N170 per liter.
The party in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, on Friday in Abuja, rejected the increase describing it as unbearable to Nigerians.

Ologbondiyan said it was also unacceptable given the prevailing economic crunch already confronting Nigerians.

He said that the PDP insisted that the increase in the pump price would worsen the already “suffocating economic” situation in the country.

He added that such a hike would be an additional log tied on the economic neck of Nigerians.

Ologbondiyan said that the government had no justification to increase the cost of fuel to anything above N100 per liter, let alone N170.

He said that there was no such justification when there were practical options to maintain affordable prices given Nigeria’s production capacity and potentialities.

Ologbondiyan decried the continuous increase in the pump price of fuel.

He added that government had yet to come clean on the parameters being used for the hike in prices vis-a-vis Nigeria’s production, export, and accruing revenue.

He said that energy officials had withheld the facts regarding the status and volume of oil production, sales, and accruing revenue.

This according to Ologbondiyan was in addition to the government’s inability to fix our refineries and end crude oil theft.

He added that fraud in the management of the country’s oil resources was responsible for the high costs and hardship being suffered by millions of Nigerians who could barely afford their meals and basic necessities of life.

He called on President Muhammadu Buhari to take steps in the fulfillment of his campaign promise to revamp Nigeria refineries while urging him to get more competent hands to run the oil sector.

No light, no food, no fuel i'm fed up with this country

Extra N1000 to full my tank. No wahala

The worst government ever in the history of Nigeria, nothing ever in this government that poor Nigerians can claim to enjoy under this government

Years ago one would expect NLC to swing into action. These days, NLC is just like any agency or ministry loyal to the government.

Afenifere summed it all that Buhari and his cabal are d real market forces determining prices

Toothless party.

Hit the street and protest.

Lead by example, opposition is not by press release

Very soon we will all adjust and be comfortable with the price, suffering and smiling we are used to it already. Just incase you need a smart tv and home electronics you got a perfect plug here

Blame NLC for these madness. All of us go suffer bayi. These stration is the most insensitive govt I have heard or seen. Hope the north has a special petrol station they buy @40 per liter. We all go suffer am.

Unfortunate Country
With an unfortunate leaders
With their unfortunate followers.

Now you wouldn't see all those very miserable people on this forum always defending this cursed government.

Apart from Tears and Sorrows what else have Buhari done for Nigerians?

History will be very unkind to Buhari as he has been to Nigerians.

The idiotic buhari says he will lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty, how will they do that when they are plunging more people into poverty?!

Fuel has increased that means, more hike in transportation which will increase the already soaring food price. What about people earning below minimum wage? How will they cope?

I am just so sad this morning. Too much suffering in this country. Things that we used as substitute to make life easier is now so expensive. How will the common man survive?!

Every man or woman that's involved in this in one way or another, how do you sleep at night? You think hoarding money for your kids is the best while millions suffer.


I am just tired! I am heartbroken!

God when 9ja go better?
we are still dragging about fuel price issues in 2020 when better countries have all this since many decades ago.

untill our leaders think outta box and review and consider other natural resources aside oil to Generate more money till then this oil issue will still be dragging us back.
cos it seems they don't know some natural resources are better this Almighty oil self.



meanwhile me for your roofing woods, woodwork and materials all at shikini money.

You can't give what you don't have .APC is just after power, with zero manifesto to perform.

The painful thing is that, some of their online warrior, would have a reason or reasons to this insensitive government

Buhari knew what he was doing when he created the Ministry of Disaster. He knew well he had brought sufferings and disaster to Nigeria.

What a Christmas gift of #170 per litre?

Mind you, the target is #200.

May God help us.
