The Coalition of Civil Societies, Osun State and National
Associational of Nigerian Students (NANS), have given the Federal Government of
Nigeria five days ultimatum to reverse the petrol pump price and electricity
tariff.
The protesters in Osogbo, the state capital of Osun on
Friday, demanded the government to reverse the pump price to its original N130
and also reverse other anti-human taxes and tariffs increase.
Recall that the Pipelines and Product Marketing Company
(PPMC), a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, had
earlier announced an increment in the pump price of petrol to N151.56 per
litre.
The chairman of Osun Civil Societies Coalition, OCSC,
Comrade Waheed Lawal, who led the protest, lamented that the Federal Government
under President Muhammadu Buhari has failed Nigerians over unfulfilled promised
he made during the electioneering process.
According to him, “Nigeria belongs to all and the masses
voted for President Muhammadu Buhari because of the promises he made during his
campaign, but Buhari has failed Nigerians.”
They, however, give the President Buhari five days ultimatum
to reverse electricity tariff and petrol pump price or see a riot of the
masses.
