Twitter is currently agog with Nigerians calling out and insulting President Muhammadu Buhari following the increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) from N148 to N151 per litre, and the hike in electricity tariff to N66 per kwh.
The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has set a pump price of N162 for petrol in the south-west region.
This followed the increase of the ex-depot price for the product by the Petroleum Products Marketing Company, a subsidiary of NNPC.
Earlier, electricity distribution companies (DisCos) across the country have also began the implementation of a new electricity tariff regime of N66 per kwh.
However, the moves have led a great number of aggrieved Nigerians to start dragging the President on Twitter, describing those moves as cruel, callous and punishment for Nigeria.
