Buhari govt is insensitive, wicked – Dino Meleye attacks FG over new petrol price

Dino Melaye, former Kogi West Senator, has lashed out at the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration for increasing the pump price of petrol.

Melaye described the decision as insensitive and wicked.

The Pipelines and Product Marketing Company (PPMC), a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, had on Wednesday announced the new petrol pump price.

Reacting to the announcement, Melaye described the increase in petrol price during a pandemic as ”grossly insensitive and wicked by the government”

According to him, the development shows how the present administration is taking advantage of poor Nigerians.

Melaye on his Twitter page wrote: “ It is grossly insensitive, wicked and deliberately callous for Government to increase pump price of petrol in a time like this.

“Men of good conscience will not watch the lives of poor Nigerians taking for granted with outrageous ignominy by a stationary Government.”
