PDP rejects N151 fuel price and hike in electricity tariff; says APC is 'punishing' N - Edoman - 09-03-2020 PDP rejects N151 fuel price and hike in electricity tariff; says APC is 'punishing' Nigerians The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the fresh increase in the price of fuel to N151 per liter and electricity tariff to N66 per kwh under the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its government, describing such as ''callous, cruel, and punishing.'' In a statement released by its National spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party demanded an immediate reversal of the prices to avert a national crisis. According to the party, the increase will result in an upsurge in the costs of goods and services and worsen the biting hardship being faced by Nigerians, who are already ''impoverished and overburdened by APC-imposed high cost of living in the last five years.'' The statement in part reads Quote:Our party asserts that by increasing the price of fuel from the N87 per litre it sold under the PDP to an excruciating N151 while at the same time allowing the hike in electricity tariff from N30.23 per kwh to over N66, the APC has left no one in doubt that its agenda is to inflict pain and hardship on Nigerians to satisfy their selfish interests. |
