‘Revert To N86 In 7 Days Or I Will Mobilize The Mother Of All Protest’- Dino Melaye Dares FG

Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Sen. Dino Melaye has fired a note of warning to the National Chairman of his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Odigie Oyegun, to ask President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal government to reverse the recently announced increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, otherwise known as petrol.

An angry Dino barred his mind via his facebook account after the Federal Government increased pump price of petrol from N86.50k to N145 per litre.

Melaye, who took to his Facebook page on Thursday night, to express his angst, threatened 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.

Melaye said: “My sincere advise 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.”

Recall that Senator Melaye was one of the most vociferous voices which kicked against the removal of petrol subsidy by former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2012.

Then, Jonathan increased the pump price of petrol from N65 to N141 per litre.

President Buhari had earlier reduced pump price from N97 to N86.50 per litre.

But in a dramatic u-turn, the President increased pump price two days ago to N145 per litre.
