The Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilization movement has taken to its official X (formerly Twitter) handle to voice its outrage over the skyrocketing fuel prices across Nigeria. The group announced that the price of fuel has now surged to an alarming N855 per liter nationwide, a development they sharply criticized as a betrayal of the public’s trust by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a scathing post, the movement highlighted the irony of the situation, recalling how the APC had vehemently protested against former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration when fuel prices were at N85 per liter. Now, under the same party’s rule, the nation is grappling with an over tenfold increase, leading to what the group described as “renewed hopelessness” among the citizens.
The post has sparked widespread reactions, with many echoing the sentiment that the current economic realities under the APC government have left Nigerians disillusioned and struggling to cope with the soaring cost of living.
The Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilization group, which has been a vocal critic of the current administration, further emphasized that this drastic hike in fuel prices underscores the need for urgent political change. They urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and continue advocating for leadership that prioritizes the welfare of the people.
As the fuel price crisis continues to deepen, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the growing discontent among the populace. However, the call for accountability and better governance has never been louder.
