The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the increase in the pump price of fuel to over N1,000 per litre in various parts of the country, describing it as a brutal assault on the sensibility and wellbeing of Nigerians.

The PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, DEBO OLOGUNAGBAsaid the thoughtless increase in fuel price especially at this time, is a huge recipe for crisis.

The major opposition party expressed sadness that the government continued to increase the price of fuel despite the scandalous revelation in the public domain that it is secretly paying N5.4 trillion as fuel subsidy for 2024 

The PDP therefore called on President TINUBU to save the country from further collapse by immediately reversing the latest provocative increase in fuel price.

The NNPCL increased its pump price of fuel from N617 per litre to N897 per litre. An action, that has been widely condemned by Nigerians.
