The Peoples Democratic Party has cautioned the Federal Government to drop the idea of further increase in fuel price in the country.
The PDP in a statement signed in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary; KOLA OLOGBONDIYAN said that Nigerians were already faced with economic hardship following the November 2020 increase in the price of fuel to N170 per litre.
According to him, further hike in fuel price would worsen the situation.
He said that Nigerians might not survive a further fuel price increase with its attendant increase in cost of goods and services.
KOLA OLOGBONDIYAN said there was no justification in comparing Nigeria’s fuel price with those of other countries whose citizens have better purchasing power.
Our correspondent reports that some filling stations have stopped dispensing fuel while there were long queues at those still selling the product.
