President Muhammadu Buhari should ‘immediately reverse’ the new
policy measure he announced for a deregulation of Nigeria’s petroleum
downstream because of the “unbearable” effects it will have on
Nigerians, a senator from Kogi State, Dino Melaye, has warned.
Mr. Melaye, writing on his Facebook page Thursday night, said the
leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress should intervene in
the matter, threatening to mobilise Nigerians for mass protests if his
demand is not met.
Mr. Melaye posted the demand from London where he’s currently attending an anti-corruption summit with Mr. Buhari.
“My sincere advise is for the National Chairman of party to our party
to suggest that the federal government immediately reverse the
announced increase in the pump price of PMS,” Mr. Melaye wrote. “If
after 7 days from Monday there is no reversal, I will mobilize Nigerians
from all walks of life for the mother of all protest. This is not what
we promised Nigerians. The time is not right and the negative effects
will be unbearable. A word is enough for the wise.”
