December 11, 2024 8:28 pmBode George, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party , says President Bola Tinubu should reduce the price of petrol to N300 per litre during the yuletide.The ex-deputy PDP national chairman said Nigerians are battling economic hardship, noting that there is a need for a breath of relief.
The elder statesman said the gesture could start from the middle of December to the end of January 2025.George said well-meaning individuals and businesses could bear the cost of such price reduction to bring happiness to all Nigerians. “I have been thinking, as a Nigerian, what can we do because the anger and the hunger are almost equal on the streets of Nigeria,” the PDP chieftain said.
“What I am suggesting is that Mr. President should sit down with his managers and give an order that from the middle of December to the end of January, the cost of petrol will be N300 per litre.“If they want others to contribute, let us know how much that is going to cost and ask people to donate, to bear the cost.“Everybody in Nigeria will be happy because it will positively impact this period of the year. It is a challenge, and he can do it.
Since the removal of the petrol subsidy in 2023, the price of petrol keeps increasing and has led to the hike in transport fares and prices of food items.If the federal government followed the suggestion of George, N700 will be paid as a subsidy for one litre of petrol.
