Protest In Ibadan Over new fuel price hike by dadebayo1(op): 12:16pm On May 14, 2016
Protest in Ibadan over new petrol price hike




The Joint Action Front on Friday in Ibadan organised a protest against the increment in the price of a litre of petrol to N145.

Led by JAF Coordinator in Oyo State and the immediate past National Treasurer of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Dr. Demola Aremu, the protest began at the University of Ibadan with a call on the Federal Government to reverse the decision in the interest of suffering millions of Nigerians.

Organisers of the protest also called on the Federal Government to fish out subsidy fraudsters, who they claimed were friends of government, and prosecute them.



Hundreds of market men and women, who joined the protest, complained about exorbitant cost of living and food.

Aremu, who addressed the crowd, said that the rally was held to sensitise Nigerians ahead of the bigger protest planned for next week.

He said President Muhammadu Buhari-led government had only given Nigerians negative changes in salary payment, power, food prices, roads and “fraud in the increment of price of fuel.”

Aremu added, “Any government that encourages petroleum product marketers to source for money from secondary market is unserious, fraudulent and irresponsible.”

He, however, described the petrol price increment as an onslaught against the Nigerian people, while identifying high inflation as the only achievement of the President since he assumed power.

The protest’s organisers claimed that they were bemused by the support that the decision of the Federal Government enjoyed from the same people who described the removal of subsidy by former President Goodluck Jonathan administration in 2012 as fraud.

Am happy this is starting in ibadan. If this has been anywhere in the east,their people would have arisen to state that its because igbos want biafra or ipod yoot.
Sometimes,it makes me wonder if these people are not seeing and feeling the pangs of this dullard's incompetence or must they do 'eye service' to the last,even when the suffering is clear to all.
Anyway,am glad to see that the suffering knows no tribe and there are still some of them who can still stand and protest against their buhari. Kudos

hypocrites are protesting. Why not endure and die silently.




Thought the protest would probably start from East since Buhari is a saint and infallible to yoruba race and mostly hated by East according to u yorubas.

That's y I disagree with people insulting Yoruba people because of some unguided miscreants supporting Buhari's way of ruling here on Nairaland. 60% of Yoruba people are already tired of BUBU. It's the paid agents who come online to spew nonsense

You voted for this govt? You are one of the causes of this problem.
On what basis did you vote Buhari? Have you no knowledge of history?
If you weren't born between 1983 and 85,you should have asked.
A man who toppled the democratic govt of a thriving economy and in 10months had reduced the economy to the pathetic situation where nigerians were queueing on the road to receive garri,rice,salt,sugar,beans and other 'essential commodities'(ask some elders around you about the word 'essential commodities).
And the like he's doing now,he kept blaming the past govt of Shagari for 2years till he was removed by IBB.
Most people who voted him were blinded by 2 things: tribe and ignorance

I voted for him because I felt he would change things.. I voted for him because I felt he would stop the stealing of our collective wealth... I did not vote because of tribe or ignorance... I voted for him because there was no other option.. One year gone and apart from recovery of stolen funds I can't figure out another thing this administration has done... All the appointed ministers are in sabbatical mode... Oga Lai is planning on how to spend 13million on a trip to China tomorrow. The same China pmb just came back from... They claim there is a rot for 16yrs as if they did not know before contesting... Enough of all the blame game... Things are gradually falling apart....

I fully understand your point. But didn't you make a brief study of the antecedents of the man whom you were hoping to 'change things'. He has ruled before and he left a track record of economic failures behind him.

Am sorry to say this but not everybody is like GEJ.
APC will not stand by and watch you and I vote them out in a free and fair manner.
Have you taken time to watch the elections held under this regime so far.
See the level of rigging,intrigues and violence in states where they wanted to wrest power out from the sitting govt(bayelsa,rivers,kogi etc) and then you can then imagine how far they will go to resist being removed.
Also,remember that Buhari usurped hierachy in INEC when Jega retired by jumping over the next in command to install his distant cousin Amina Zakari,a woman whose cv shows she worked with Buhari's younger brother when they were handling almost all PTF contracts.
When Nigerians protested against her installation,he moved her to vice chairman,north west(his region),which means that no vote within that region will stand against Buhari and APC in 2019.
You guys don't read the signs.
Unlike GEJ,your votes may not be allowed to count

I'm in Ibadan and everywhere is peaceful here. The clowns could have helped with one or two pictures of the pseudo-protest. By the way , who starts a protest on a Saturday and at a deserted school (UI's on strike ) for that matter.
Anyone who is willing to occupy anywhere should occupy Onitsha,Aba and other lands of the GULLIBOS .

You folks should come out and protest if you are dissatisfied with Buhari's policies . But alas ,you can't because your people has never stood for anything since the inception of Nigeria . Activists like Tai Solarin ,Fawehinmi, Falana ,Soyinka ,Alfred Rewane , Saro Wiwa and even Adams Oshiomole have at one time or the other defended the masses.
We know how all you money loving !diots was propping up Abacha to become the life President in the 90s.
Even in your self acclaimed Igbo party the PDP,the voices of reason are not from the gully raved land.
You all should bury your heads in shame. You claimed Yoruba's occupied Nigeria in 2012 .,yes deal with it !!
Come out and occupy Nigeria too. Put your mouth where your money is and stop being lilly livered cowards waiting for others to fight your battles for you.
