Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mathew Hassan Kukah, has called on leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to reduce the current pump price of fuel, stating that Nigerians are suffering from hunger.
He made this statement on Friday in Abuja during the official unveiling of The Progressive Institute (TPI).
It is noteworthy that the pump price of petrol in the country was increased on Tuesday to N855, N918, or higher, depending on the location.
In his goodwill message at the APC event, Kukah said, “We Nigerians are hungry. You must find a way to reduce the price of fuel.
Unless democracy is built on a solid foundation, we will be constructing on sand. I am deeply concerned about the quality of democracy in Nigeria. We need to address the issues affecting democracy here.”
