The recent fuel price hike in Nigeria, which we saw petrol prices rise from ₦897 to ₦1,030 per litre, has stirred strong reactions across the country. In response, Peter Obi condemned the NNPCL’s move, calling it “unfortunate and insensitive.”
Obi’s remarks, made on his X (formerly Twitter) account, criticized the Federal Government for failing to explain the decision amid Nigeria’s already harsh economic conditions.
The public’s reaction to Obi’s criticism has been largely supportive, with many Nigerians expressing their frustrations. One commenter noted, “Notice has those account that usually drop negative takes in comment are no longer active. The fuel increase and inflation has grabbed a lot of neck” Another added, “We are going to vote for Peter Obi in the next election,” signaling strong support for Peter Obi.
