The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has defended the new hike in the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) also known as petrol, saying unlike what obtained under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) subsidy regime, Nigerians no longer have to endure tortuous queues to buy fuel.

The party in a statement by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Mr Yekini Nabena, on Wednesday was reacting to attacks by the PDP on the new depot loading price of ₦151.56k approved by the Federal Government.


“The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to a shameless statement by the Peoples Democratic Party PDP on the current petrol price and electricity tariff in the country.

“For successive PDP governments that foisted on the country a corruption-tainted fuel subsidy regime, we call on the PDP to surprise itself and indeed Nigerians by cajoling its cronies who ran the subsidy rackets — many of them in hiding abroad — to return our stolen commonwealth in their possession”, APC demanded.

The ruling party added that “under the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, the tortuous fuel queues as a result of biting scarcities are gone”.

It added that “the reviewed petroleum products pricing template has resulted in a more transparent, efficient and realistic pricing system for petroleum products and also resulted in constant availability of fuel nationwide.


“The pricing template now reflects competitive and market-driven components which is supported by the citizenry”.


According to the APC, as part of efforts by the Buhari administration to put an end to estimated and arbitrary billing for electricity, the president recently directed a nationwide mass metering programme for electricity consumers in the country.

“For the PDP that is only concerned with pushing the interests of its few cronies over the general interest and welfare of the citizenry, we dont expect the PDP to grasp the import of this landmark presidential directive which aside improving electricity and service delivery, is also protecting the poor and vulnerable Nigerians from increased electricity tariff and arbitrary/estimated billings.


“Commendably, the federal government is already working to ensure that Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOs) commit to increasing the number of hours of electricity supply every day and also improve on their quality of service.

“Perhaps the PDP is also unaware, that the current administration has approved a one-year waiver of import levy on electricity meters so that Nigerians who do not have meters can be supplied as early as possible at a reasonable cost.

“The APC calls on the PDP to wake up to the new Nigeria where the government works for the citizens, not a few interests”, it added.

Shameless idiots!!

Goodluck Jonathan removed subsidy and the APC led cabals held the country under ransom in conjunction with the unions, hence the scarcity experienced back then.


Recently, no one can tell how much Nigeria is paying for subsidy. And price keeps going up.

This too shall pass.

E get where everything go rotten reach, even the thieves with all their billions go still follow us dey perceive and breath in all the shiiit. So, no man is truly free.

Las las we are all in this shiiit together.

I hate Nigeria kind of politics

APC is telling it to our faces, that all the increment is justifiable. How can these people be wicked, there is an end to everything. God will deliver us, they will know who have the Ultimate Power.

And they had to involve PDP in their shameless defense?
When sane countries are making things easier for their citizens in this pandemic period, Buhari is impoverishing Nigerians with his draconian policies. This has proven that COVID 19 is a scam in Nigeria.

Too bad

So, APC has mouth to called PDP shameless?
At least we all can testify that the worse of PDP was far better than best of apc.
If PDP decides not to talk now, some slowpoke will say PDP don't know how to play opposition as if apc will accept their advice.

The wickedness of people in APC is like wickedness of occultic people, no mercy of any kind.
Imagine what Yekini is writing to spice people.
Yet some of the trolls will come here to tell us everything is ok.

Apc members buy fuel at old price
Pdp members buy fuel at new price

NLC is dead and berried by buhari and APC government. Ayuba waba is just there as a figure head.

AYuba waba is just there as a figure head.

The laws of supply, demand and equilibrium price have been thrown out of the window.

How I wish sir Yar'adua still dey alive.... atleast we would have enjoyed the #65 price tag for PMS during his full tenure.

Nigerians lost a rare gem....May his soul keep resting in peace

My broda, they don’t pay for fuel like you do, they just go to government fuel dumps and collect fuel for free!

It won't be we with all APC members

Imagine the boldness they use to dish out insults to the populace all in the name of press statement. This same petrol caused nationwide unrest some years back under the last administration due to clamour for subsidy removal which resulted in closing down of many filling stations by marketers thereby creating artificial scarsity of which President Buhari was a participant in the protest walk but today under His administration, his govt is still paying subsidy even without transparency. He gave us railway and in return increased fuel, electricity and import tariff. This is a typical example of the devil's gift.
