'No government had ever done that. Therefore, the Labour Union and other civil society groups should rise to the occasion, by raising their voices against such insensitive decision, as they did during the Jonathan administration'

The Oodua Peoples Congress has described the recent increase in the prices of Premium Motor Spirit and electricity tariffs as an attempt to push Nigerians to the wall, saying the Federal Government is sitting on a time bomb.

” It is the worst decision ever made by a government that prides itself as the government of the people. With this increase, the FG is sitting on a time bomb, with no respect for the feelings and suffering of the people.” “No government had ever done that. Therefore, the Labour Union and other civil society groups should rise to the occasion, by raising their voices against such insensitive decision, as they did during the Jonathan administration”

Oguntimehin, however, urged the Federal Government to retrace its step and reverse the prices in the interest of the mass of the people, by cushioning the effect of this outrageous increase in the prices of commodities that have a direct impact on on the lives of the people.
