The Progressive Governors’ Forum has said it is ‘solidly behind’ the federal government on the decision to remove petrol subsidy.
The APC governors’ decision was disclosed by the newly elected Chairman of the forum, Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State.
Speaking to House correspondents after a meeting with the President today, Governor Uzodinma stated that the president simply obeyed existing laws as he urged Nigerians not to politicize the issue.
He, however, expressed displeasure over the sudden hike in petrol prices following the president’s inaugural speech.
Uzodinma accused oil marketers of inflicting pains on Nigerians by hoarding fuel supply
He also noted that the situation will abate when market forces come into play and Dangote refinery comes on stream by June.
