Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Monday dispensed petrol to residents of Ado-Ekiti, at government approved price of N145 per litre.
Supervising the sale of fuel at Alade Filling Station along Iyin Road,the governor said he took the decision to ease the pains of the masses in purchasing the commodity.
“This is the sacrifice we have to make as a responsible government to alleviate the suffering of the people, because this is a black Christmas. They cant move.
It is time for Nigerians to take me seriously that the Federal Government wants to increase the pump price.
Ordinarily, the N145 is too much for the people not to talk of increasing it. Today I tell you that there is queue even at black market." The governor stated.
Fayose accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) led Federal Government of harbouring plan to increase the pump price to inflict more hardship on Nigerians.
