Bode George Urges President Tinubu to Cut Petrol Price to N300 Before Christmas

Chief Bode George, former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has called on President Bola Tinubu to reduce the price of fuel to N300 per litre ahead of the Christmas season. Speaking at a press conference in Lagos on December 11, he emphasized that this reduction would enhance the festive experience for Nigerians.

George stated, “By the 15th or the middle of this month, President Tinubu should give back to the people who voted him into power. December and January are crucial months for everyone, regardless of faith or belief.”

He proposed that the petrol price be lowered from mid-December through the end of January, asserting that the government could absorb the financial impact. George remarked, “This move would spread joy across communities, allowing everyone in Nigeria to experience happiness during this important time of year.”

Highlighting the government's capacity to support such a decision, he noted, “If the First Lady can donate N1 billion to a university, she could also contribute to covering this cost
