Nigerians woke up early Tuesday morning to the sudden hike in the price of Petrol from N500 to N700.
The masses who are yet to get over the removal of fuel subsidy that skyrocketed the price of Petrol from N187 to N500 are furious.
President Bola Tinubu’s Government is still brainstorming on how to distribute the N50 Billion Palliatives to cushion its adverse effect on the masses.
The Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, has now increased its pump fuel price from N488 to N617, prompting the Independent Petroleum Marketers to increase its own price to N700.
In protest, Nigerians have taken to the Social Media to slam the President Tinubu administration for bringing pain and anguish to the masses.
The Netizens lamented that the Renewed Hope Mantra is fraudulent and deceitful, as Nigerians are further impoverished with no hope for a better tomorrow in sight.
Popular Big Brother Naija host, Uche Elendu, took to his Twitter handle and wrote, “Is this how the poor going to breath?
Another Twitter user, @Feragamo wrote, “This APC government are full of deceits and lies, what kind of thing is this, the masses are going to suffer and go through hell in this government “.
@Neferiti wrote on her handle, “You are all going to enjoy renewed shege from this government”.
