Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose Against PMS

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose in a statement released this evening by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, condemned the new price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) otherwise known as petrol which was increased today by the Federal Government to N145.

According to the governor, the alleged scarcity of petrol being experienced in the

last three months was deliberately orchestrated by the federal government to pave way for the already conceived increment.

“Nigerians are now left at the mercy of political liars who took over power by deception and are governing by deceit. When they were seeking for votes from Nigerians, they promised to reduce petrol pump price to from N87 to N45 per litre, they promised to create three million jobs per year, they said $1 will be equal to N1 and above all, they promised to pay unemployed youths N5, 000 stipends and provide one meal a day to pupils nationwide.


“Instead of fulfilling their promises, they have increased petrol pump price to N145 per litre, increased electricity tariffs, retrenched thousands of workers and imposed untold hardships on Nigerians. As they did in 2012, if labour leaders do not also stand up for the people at this time, posterity will not forgive them,” the statement read
