Ekiti
State Governor, Ayodele Fayose in a statement released this evening by his
Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka,
condemned the new price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) otherwise known as petrol
which was increased today by the Federal Government to N145.
According
to the governor, the alleged scarcity of petrol being experienced in the last
three months was deliberately orchestrated by the federal government to pave
way for the already conceived increment.
“Nigerians
are now left at the mercy of political liars who took over power by deception
and are governing by deceit. When they were seeking for votes from Nigerians,
they promised to reduce petrol pump price to from N87 to N45 per litre, they
promised to create three million jobs per year, they said $1 will be equal to
N1 and above all, they promised to pay unemployed youths N5, 000 stipends and
provide one meal a day to pupils nationwide.
“Instead
of fulfilling their promises, they have increased petrol pump price to N145 per
litre, increased electricity tariffs, retrenched thousands of workers and
imposed untold hardships on Nigerians. As they did in 2012, if labour leaders
do not also stand up for the people at this time, posterity will not forgive
them,” the statement read.
