Former kaduna governor rejects new petrol price

You're referring to the recent controversy surrounding the new petrol price in Nigeria!

Yes, you're correct. A former Governor of Kaduna State, Ahmed Makarfi, has rejected the new petrol price announced by the Federal Government. Makarfi, who is also a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), described the new price as "unjustifiable" and "unacceptable".

In a statement, Makarfi said that the new price of N212 per liter is a burden on the ordinary Nigerian and will further exacerbate the economic hardship already being faced by the people. He called on the government to reconsider the price and find a more sustainable solution to the country's fuel crisis.

Makarfi's rejection of the new petrol price is not an isolated incident. Many Nigerians, including other politicians, have also expressed their opposition to the new price, citing the economic hardship it will cause and the lack of transparency in the pricing process.

The controversy surrounding the new petrol price is a reflection of the ongoing debate in Nigeria about the country's fuel subsidy regime and the need for a more sustainable and transparent pricing mechanism.
