Bishop of Sokoto Dioceses, Bishop Matthew Kukah has called on President Bola Tinubu and the leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to reduce the price of petrol to ease the suffering of Nigerians.
Recall that the NNPCL on Tuesday, September 3, 2024 raised the pump price of petrol to N897 per litre from the official price of N617.
The recent increment in the price of fuel has added to the excruciating pains Nigerians are going through in the hands of Tinubu-led government.
Kukah who spoke at the formal unveiling of the APC Progressive Institute on Friday in Abuja stated that there is serious hunger in the land.
The clergy also urged political leaders to urgently find a way of reducing hunger and suffering of the masses in the land.
His words: “I have always said that I am not a politician but I am political. I am not a member of the APC. If Labour party invites me, I will go, if it is the PDP that invites me, I will also go. One thing I will appeal to politicians is to write your biography so that the younger generation will appreciate the mistakes you have made.
“The Institute will help the political leaders to change the rules of engagement. Once they are elected, spiritualists, ritualists will dictate their activities. I want to urge Nigerian politicians to move from marabout to scientific approach to administering the country.
“As I commend the APC for this feat and I am happy that the political leaders are here and I want to say that Nigerians are hungry. You must find a way of reducing the prices of fuel to reduce the suffering in the country.”
