Posted by The Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL) has called for a national protest against the recent increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), which is also called gasoline.
The call came after the price of fuel in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and other parts of the country suddenly went up from N537 to N620.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the President General of COSEYL, Goodluck Ibem, said that the government’s actions were evil, pointing out that Nigerians are already having a hard time because the fuel rebate was taken away.
The group was upset that “Nigerians are still struggling to get by with the old price of N520, but President Tinubu raised the same price of fuel to N617 in his first two months in office.” This is the price in some states.
The message asked all Nigerians, especially the young people, to “come out in large numbers” to protest what the current government is doing to them. Nigerians can’t breathe in their own country anymore.
“Now is the time to free Nigeria from its rulers. We must march through the streets of Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, until the price of gasoline goes back to its old price of N198 per liter.
