Fuel price: Act fast to save Nigeria from total collapse – NNPP chieftain tells Tinubu

A chieftain of New Nigeria People’s Party, (NNPP), Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo has advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to act fast and save Nigeria from total collapse.

Oguntoyinbo made this declaration while reacting to the sudden increment of the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) also known as Petroleum by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited.

DAILY POST reports that the NNPCL has increased the price of petroleum from N617 per liter to N897 per litre.

Oguntoyinbo urged Tinubu, who is also the Minister of Petroleum, to act fast to save the country from total collapse.

The NNPP chieftain in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday, called for the dissolution of the NNPCL management.

Oguntoyinbo said, “I used this medium to call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to call the NNPCL to order.

“Oil is our inheritance, and few people who are currently managing the NNPCL do not own our joint inheritance. So it should not be allowed to toy with our lives.

“President Tinubu should checkmate the sinister agenda of the Kyari-led NNPC. The management has turned itself to the owner of our crude oil and the refined products. Nigerians will not take that nonsense.

“Mr President, use your good offices to revert the pump price of PMS to its old price. Don’t allow saboteurs to tarnish your good image and that of your government.

“You can remember, Mr President, when former President Goodluck Jonathan removed subsidy and increased the PMS price from N96 to about N180, you and well meaning Nigerians protested.

“Who gave the NNPC power to unilaterally increase the pump price of fuel. The President as Minister of Petroleum should act fast to save Nigeria.”
