Fresh drama is shaking Nigeria’s political space as former senator Dino Melaye has raised alarm over the sharp increase in fuel price under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government.
Speaking during a political gathering, Melaye did not hide his frustration.
He reminded Nigerians that when Tinubu took over, fuel was around N600. But according to him, the reality today is very different and more painful for ordinary citizens.
This statement is spreading fast across Nigeria right now. Many people are reacting strongly.
The tension around this issue is growing quickly. You may want to see why everyone is talking about it.
Melaye blamed the sudden removal of fuel subsidy, saying it triggered a chain reaction that pushed up the cost of goods and services nationwide.
His exact words have now sparked heated debates online, especially as Nigerians continue to struggle with the high cost of living.
The comment came during a major ADC gathering attended by top political figures, adding more weight to the conversation ahead of 2027 elections.
As reactions continue to pour in, many Nigerians are asking one serious question. Is the rising fuel price a necessary sacrifice or a heavy burden too hard to bear?
