The
Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) set a pump price
of N162 for petrol in the south-west region.
Twitter is
currently agog with Nigerians calling out and insulting President Muhammadu
Buhari following the increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit
(petrol) and the hike in electricity tariff to N66 per kwh.
This followed
the increase of the ex-depot price for the product by the Petroleum Products
Marketing Company, a subsidiary of NNPC. The price was increased from N138 to
N151.
Electricity
distribution companies (DisCos) across the country also began on 1 September
the implementation of a new electricity tariff regime of N66 per kwh.
However, the
moves have led a great number of aggrieved Nigerians to start dragging the
President on Twitter, describing those moves as cruel and callous.
See some
tweets below;
The people who were jumping up & down in Ojota with us under GEJ when Petrol was N86 are now buying for N151 without complain. Fear will not even allow them try the things they did against Jonathan to Buhari.— Comrade Deji Adeyanju (@adeyanjudeji) September 2, 2020
President Muhammadu Buhari will go down in history as Nigeria worst president we ever had. The misfortune of voting.— AbdulRasheethe (@Rasheethe) September 2, 2020
Calm down..— Henry Shield (@henryshield) September 2, 2020
Wailers will buy fuel at N151 while Buhari’s supporters will continue buying at #87.
