By; BAYO AKAMO, Ibadan
A chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party, ( NNPP) , Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo on Tuesday, kicked against the alleged increase of Petroleum Motor Spirits, (PMS) pump price by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, (NNPC) Limited on Tuesday morning.
Ambassador Ajadi in a statement, said, ” NNPC does not own Nigeria”, and President Bola Tinubu should call the NNPC to order, adding that few people cannot be toying with lives of millions of Nigerians.
The NNPP chieftain stated that the NNPC management as presently constituted, should be dissolved, telling President Tinubu that the NNPC led by Mele Kyari allegedly has a sinister agenda which must quickly be aborted.
“I use this medium to call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to call the NNPC to order. Oil is our inheritance, and few people who are currently managing the NNPC do not own our joint inheritance. So it should not be allowed to toy with our lives”, he said.
Ambassador Ajadi added, “President Tinubu should beware and checkmate the alleged sinister agenda of Kyari- led NNPC. The management has turned itself to the owner of our crude oil and the refined products. Nigerians will not take that nonsense.
“Mr President use your good offices to revert the pump price of PMS to its old price. Don’t allow saboteurs to tarnish your good image and that of your government.You can remember, Mr President, when former President Goodluck Jonathan removed subsidy and increased PMS price from N96 to about N180, you and well meaning Nigerians protested, why now killing price while you are in the helms of affairs.
“Who gave the NNPC power to unilaterally increase pump price of fuel. The President as Minister of Petroleum should act fast to save Nigeria from collapsing”, Ajadi said.
