The Senator
representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Sen. Dino Melaye, Thursday, called
on President Muhammadu Buhari to rescind his decision on fuel subsidy
withdrawal within 7 days or face what he called mother-of-all protest.
Melaye equally
urged the National Chairman of his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC,
Chief Odigie Oyegun, to prevail on the Buhari-led Federal government to do the
needful.
Melaye took to his
Facebook page threatening that if after seven days (from Monday next week)
there is no reversal, he will mobilize Nigerians from all walks of life for the
mother of all protest.
He said: “My
sincere advice is for the National Chairman of our party to suggest that the
federal government immediately reverse the announced increase in the pump price
of PMS. If after seven days from Monday, there is no reversal, I will mobilize
Nigerians from all walks of life for the mother of all protest. This is not
what we promised Nigerians. The time is not right and the negative effects will
be unbearable. A word is enough for the wise.”
