Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, APC has lashed out at President Goodluck Jonathan for reducing
the pump price of petrol from N97 to N87.
Lashing out at the President via a Facebook post, Buhari wrote,''Out
of desperation, GEJ's government has increased subsidy payments and
reduced fuel prices to N87 per liter. Many people think it is a good
decision.
But it is not.
You think you are paying less at the Petrol station, but you cannot
experience much economic developments this way. Why? The monies that
have been budgeted for Education, Security, Constructions and many more
will be diverted to pay for subsidy as it was never planned.
Budget - $65 per barrel.
Crude - $48 per barrel.
We are losing $17 per barrel.
In recent weeks, India and Indonesia have removed fuel subsidies. Nigeria's government decides to take on more.
Deregulation is the solution, not increased subsidy payments.
GEJ is seeking to buy your votes for N10, but your future cannot be
exchanged for N10. He knows this move is not sustainable and so, he will
definitely increase it, even more than N97, if you vote him in.
He waited up until 27 days to the election to make this move.
