Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, has revealed that the increase in fuel price from N87 per litre to N145 per litre was an Indirect Tax imposed on Nigerians.
“In rewarding Nigerians for electing him as president, President Buhari opted to increase petrol pump price by N58.50!” Fayose said in an assessment statement signed by himself.
“The first justification of the increment was removal of subsidy. But Nigerians were later stunned when the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo said pump price of petrol was increased because Nigeria was broke!
“In other words, President Buhari increased petrol pump price because the country was broke and it needed to shore up its revenue base. The N58.50 added to the previous pump price of N86.50 was an Indirect Tax imposed on each litre of petrol purchased by Nigerians.
“Simply put, the Federal Government is indirectly collecting N58.50 naira tax from suffering Nigerians on each litre of petrol they buy. Buhari is no doubt acting like the proverbial Agbalowomeri Baale Jontolo (A king that exploits his extremely poor subject to further enrich himself).”
The governor said under the Buhari/APC government, “it is almost certain that our suffering will continue till 2019.”
“Nigerians should be reminded that the manner of hardship being faced now was also faced during Buhari’s first coming as a military dictator when people had to queue for essential commodities. Now, Nigerians can’t even afford common tomato to prepare soup.”
