Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has been lambasted over his administration's decision to increase petrol price.

Ayodele Fayose and Shehu Sani

A former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, and Shehu Sani, who is also a former Kaduna Central Senator have berated President Muhammadu Buhari's government for increasing petrol price to N151.56 per litre.

Recall that we reported that the Pipelines and Product Marketing Company (PPMC), a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC on Wednesday announced the increment.

The new price takes effect from September 2, 2020.

Reacting in a tweet via his official Twitter account on Wednesday, Fayose lamented that the increment was an added burden on Nigerians amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“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 the PDP govt of Jonathan are not aware. I warned.”

On his part, Sani wrote: “What’s going up; Foreign loans, Electricity tariff, Fuel pump price, Cost of Data, Cost of Rice, VATs, Tuition fees, Cost of living; What’s going down; Value of the Naira, Foreign reserve.”
