It would be noticed that the government had embarked on phased price reduction in the last few months -from N145 to N125 then N121 on Tuesday.
But the PDP, in a statement on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said the government has been fleecing Nigerians with high fuel price.
The party charged the government to immediately reduce the pump price to N70 per litre, to reflect the appropriate pricing template following the fall in the price of crude oil in the international market.
The main opposition party described the new price as announced by the government, as highly provocative and a further display of insensitivity to the plight of Nigerians, “particularly as they battle the social and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic”.
The PDP insisted that a N121 per litre price amounted to fleecing Nigerians of over N50 per litreof fuel.
