The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has criticized President Bola Tinubu’s suggestion of purchasing petrol at N1000/litre or Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) at N200/Metre.
Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) stated that Nigerians are facing challenges due to fuel price hike.
General Secretary of CUPP, Chief Peter Ameh condemned the government for implementing such policy before the removal of fuel subsidy which led to increased poverty and high cost of living.
He stated that President Tinubu’s administration has implemented policies which have worsened the economy of the country.
He stated, “Instead of providing tangible solutions to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians, this administration has resorted to insensitive statements.
“The recent launch of CNG at N230 per litre, while I see it a welcome move, does little to address the underlying issues caused by the fuel subsidy removal.
“The consequences of the fuel subsidy removal are dire, with increased poverty, economic hardship, and lack of transparency.
“To move forward, Tinubu’s government must learn how to prioritise the welfare of our citizens and develop policies that promote economic stability and growth in place of inconsistent and insensitive government statements.
“This includes providing a proper policy framework that will ensure a robust implementation, investing in alternative energy sources, and addressing corruption surrounding the fuel subsidy.
“Fundamentally, Nigerians deserve better than insensitive statements and impulsive policy decisions.
“Tinubu’s government must demonstrate its commitment to improving the lives of Nigerians through effective governance and policy decisions.”
