Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Wednesday, lamented the increase in the pump price of premium motor spirit otherwise known as petrol to N151.56 per litre.
The Petroleum Products Marketing Company, a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, had on Wednesday increased the ex-depot price of petrol from N138.62 per litre to N151.56 per litre.
In his response on a tweet on his Twitter handle, @GovAyoFayose, the former governor said the increase was ludicrous particularly coming at a time the whole world was busy finding solutions to the COVID-19.
He equally mocked Nigerians, who took to the streets to protest across the country during the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government of former President Goodluck Jonathan, saying that he warned them.
Fayose tweeted, “Petrol is now N151.56. The increment was made when other countries are adopting measures to reduce the effects of COVID-19 lockdown on their citizens.

“I warned”, Fayose wrote.
