Reacting to this, Fayose recalled how he warned Nigerians. The former Governor who queried the rationale for the increase, said the decision was taken when other countries are adopting measures to reduce the effects of COVID-19 lockdown on their citizens.

He Tweeted;

“Petrol is now N151.56. The increment was made when other countries are adopting measures to reduce the effects of COVID-19 lock down on their citizens. Just in case those who led the Save Nigeria protests across Nigeria during PDP govt of Jonathan are not aware. I warned”.
