The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has called on Nigerians to be prepared for a mass action following the increase of petroleum products by the Government of President Mohammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

\n

CUPP in a statement signed by its Spokesman, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, \u00a0said it has received with shock and disbelief the decision of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration to approve an astronomical increase in fuel price at the time Nigerians are already suffocating under the weight of numerous taxes.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The opposition political parties noted that the increase is coming barely one day after the increase in electricity tariff by this same government took effect.<\/p>\n

CUPP said: \u201cWe therefore reject this senseless, heartless, insensitive and wicked increase in its entirety.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CUPP holds the view that this latest poison from the chalice of the All Progressives Congress government is meant to kill more Nigerians with suffering contrary to the oath Buhari swore to protect them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are therefore calling on this government to rescind this unpopular decision with immediate effect. Failure to do this, the CUPP will be taking a legal action to force this government to do so.<\/p>\n

\u201cApart from the legal option, we shall also begin to reach out with a view to mobilising civil society organisations and organised groups for mass action.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The Opposition Coalition Human Mobilisation head, Barr. Kenneth Udeze will in the days ahead start meeting with organised groups to mobilise them to be on the same page with the Opposition<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge Nigerians to be ready to take active part in the proposed mass civil action in case the federal government, in its usual style, turns a deaf ear to our legitimate and patriotic call.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
