The Presidency has accused main opposition party, the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) selling petrol at a higher rate
whent they were in power.
retwtr.com recalls that the Federal Government last Wednesday
through the Petroleum Pricing Marketing Company (PPMC) increased
the ex-depot price of petrol from N138 to NN151.56 per litre,
triggering marketers to increase pump price from N148 to N162 per
litre.
Similarly, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory
Commission (NERC) had approved an increase in electricity tariff
with effect from September 1, 2020.
A NERC document showed that electricity customers, except those
receiving less than 12 hours of supply, would have to pay more for
electricity starting from September 1, 2020.
The Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) had said the
government did nothing to help citizens cope with the devastating
economic impact of the pandemic.

Also the PDP on its part, described the increment as “callous,
cruel and punishing“, and demanded that it should be reversed to
avert “a national crisis.”
Reacting in a post on Twitter, Garba Shehu, the spokesman
of President Muhammadu Buhari, accused the main opposition party of
deceit.
“Don’t allow the PDP to deceive you. Amidst acute shortages,
they sold petrol at N600 per litre on Easter Sunday in 2013 (See
Punch published on that day),” he tweeted alongside a
newspaper publication.
