Strong reactions are building across Nigeria after former senator Dino Melaye made a bold claim about the rising cost of fuel in the country.
Speaking at a major political gathering ahead of the 2027 elections, Melaye expressed deep concern over how quickly things have changed. He reminded Nigerians that when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office, fuel was around N600, but now it has climbed sharply to about N1400.
This revelation is what many Nigerians are rushing to see right now. The discussion is spreading everywhere.
The outrage and reactions are growing fast. You may want to see why this issue is shaking the country.
Melaye blamed the situation on the sudden removal of fuel subsidy, saying it triggered a painful increase in the cost of living. According to him, once the subsidy was removed, prices of goods and services began to rise across the board.
The statement came during the ADC convention, where top political figures gathered to discuss plans ahead of 2027.
His words have now sparked serious debate among Nigerians, with many sharing their daily struggles over fuel and rising expenses.
As the conversation grows louder, one question remains. How much more can ordinary Nigerians endure?
