Bode George Urges Tinubu to Cut Fuel Price to N300 for a Festive Relief
Bode George, a prominent chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has called on President Bola Tinubu to ease the financial burden on Nigerians by reducing the pump price of petrol to N300 per liter for the festive season.
George suggested that this price reduction should take effect from mid-December through the end of January, a period he described as critical for all Nigerians, regardless of religion or background.
During a press conference in Lagos on Wednesday, the former PDP Deputy National Chairman emphasized the importance of these two months for people across the country.
He explained that December and January are universally recognized as times of celebration, reflection, and family bonding.
According to George, lowering fuel prices temporarily would allow Nigerians to enjoy the holidays without the heavy strain of rising living costs.
“There are two months in any calendar year that are very significant,” George said.
“Whether you are Christian, Muslim, atheist, or traditionalist, these months are a time when families come together, communities celebrate, and people look forward to a sense of joy and unity.
Reducing petrol prices to N300 per liter during this period would be a meaningful gesture.”
He added that the government is capable of absorbing any financial losses that might arise from the temporary price cut.
“The federal government can bear the cost,” George insisted.
“It is time for President Tinubu to give back to Nigerians and show them that their well-being is a priority.”
George also referenced recent news about First Lady Oluremi Tinubu’s donation of N1 billion to a university, suggesting that such generosity could be extended to the broader population.
“If the First Lady can give N1 billion to a university, contributing to reducing fuel prices for millions of struggling Nigerians should not be out of reach.
This act would send a wave of joy and relief to households across the country.”
