A senior advocate of Nigeria, Mike Ozokheme, has slammed the President Muhammad Buhari administration for hiking the fuel price.
In a discussion with Vanguard, Ozokheme described the move as anti-people and foolish amongst others.
His words: “The recent increase in the price of fuel from N86 to N145 so the most incensate, foolish, unsympathetic and anti-people decision the PMB government has yet taken in its flip-flop one year of clueless and directionless government.
“At a time Nigerians are already groaning under a grotesque over 500% increase in prices of ordinary consumables with the miserly non living wage of N18,000 unaltered, it is inconceivable that government would add to the pains, anguish, pangs and and sufferings of the ordinary Nigerians whose only crime is that “voted” for “change”.
“This government has indecently reversed all its promises to the Nigerian people., treating them as inconsequential nonentities in its governance index.
“It is not about whether there are advantages in the concrete. It is simply about honor, dignity and integrity in fulfilling election promises which constitute a pact, pactum sunt servada ( agreements must be respected) with the Nigerian people.
