The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the Federal Government to reverse the latest hike in the petrol pump price, describing it as a brutal assault on the sensibility of Nigerians.

PDP in a statement on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said the increase in petrol price “without due regard to the wellbeing of the people is akin to pushing Nigerians to the wall and daring them to do their worse.”

According to the statement, the increase, especially at this time, “is a huge recipe for crisis as Nigerians cannot bear its worsening effect on the suffocating economic hardship which they currently face under the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led APC administration.”

Ologunagba claimed that under the Tinubu administration, 150 million Nigerians have sunk below the poverty line.
