The Muslim Congress (TMC) this afternoon stressed that President Goodluck Jonathan
must rescind his “wicked decision” and revert unconditionally to the old petrol pump
price of N65 per litre.
In a statement signed by Luqman AbdurRaheem, the TMC praised organizers of the
national strike for their steadfastness and sense of patriotism in organising the ongoing
rallies across Nigeria “to protest the wicked, sudden, deceptive and heartless removal of
the fuel subsidy” by Mr. Jonathan.
It advised Mr. Jonathan that, in place of the lazy policy of fuel subsidy removal, he
should work to rehabilitate the nation’s moribund refineries for optimal performance;
encourage private sector refineries through attractive incentives/tax concessions;
improve the nation’s income potentials in agriculture/exports/manufacturing; fight
against petroleum sector cabal; curb the endemic corruption that caused operational
inefficiencies of NNPC by establishing a Loot Recovery Fund (LRF); and implement
fiscal discipline by cutting down on cost of governance including several billions
earmarked for his upkeep at the presidential villa.
