Senator Dino Melaye, who participated actively in the #OcuppyNigeria protests, which forced the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan to shelve the idea of removing fuel subsidy, accused the current administration of going against the campaign promises of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Senator representing Kogi West, has given President Muhammadu Buhari a 7-day ultimatum.
Speaking through his facebook page, Dino Melaye threatened to mobilise Nigerians against the Buhari-led administration if it does not revert to the old pump price of petrol within seven days.
“My sincere advise is for the National Chairman of our party to suggest that the federal government immediately reverse the announced increase in the pump price of PMS,” he wrote on Facebook.
“If after seven days from Monday, there is no reversal, I will mobilise Nigerians from all walks of life for the mother of all protest. This is not what we promised Nigerians.
“The time is not right and the negative effects will be unbearable. A word is enough for the wise.”
