The People's Democratic Party (PDP) in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan in Abuja on Saturday, cautions Federal Government against further fuel price increase.
Ologbondiyan said that Nigerians were already faced with economic hardship following the November 2020 increase in the price of fuel to N170 per litre, adding that further hike in fuel price would worsen the situation, as Nigerians might not survive a further fuel price increase with its attendant increase in cost of goods and services.
"This will worsen the current economic situation, where over 90 million citizen live in abject poverty, with an alarming 23 per cent unemployment rate and many more living below N500 a day,” he said.
