CUPP Condenms Hike In Fuel Price

By Chuks Ekpeneru

The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has described as insensitive and wicked infliction of pains on Nigerians the recent increase in prices of petroleum products.

In a press release on Thursday, CUPP said the government has demonstrated, time and again, that it lacks empathy for the suffering of the citizens.

The press release signed by its Co-Spokesman, Comrade Mark Adebayo, urged the Buhari government to immediately revert the pump price of a litre of petrol to either the N123.00 that it was reduced to during the COVID-19 lockdown or, better still, make it N100.00 flat per litre.

CUPP said that reverting to the old price would cushion the combined negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic and the badly managed economy of the country.

CUPP said the increase was “insensitive and wicked infliction of pains on Nigerians who are yet to recover from the debilitating effects of COVID-19 pandemic which the present government did next to nothing to assuage the suffering masses and small scale businesses.”

It said the economy had been so terribly mismanaged due to its obvious incompetence and humongous corruption.

“We advise the government to immediately revert to either the N123.00 that it was reduced to during the lockdown or, better still, make it N100.00 flat which would cushion the combined negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic and the badly managed economy of the country.

“Such an increase at this time is not only ill-advised but also reprehensible and unpardonable.

“What the government should do is find a solution to the burgeoning economic crises of the country and not aggravate an already desperate situation for the mass of Nigerians. It is wicked ambush against Nigerians,” CUPP said.
