₦1,470/L Petrol: ADC Accuses Tinubu Of Pushing Nigerians To ‘Limits Of Human Endurance’

The party said higher fuel costs are worsening living expenses and forcing families to choose between food, school fees and other essentials.

  • On Tuesday, The African Democratic Congress warned President Bola Tinubu against further hardship as petrol prices rose to N1,470 per litre, with National Publicity Secretary Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi issuing the statement in Abuja.
  • The ADC labeled the current economic strain a 'Tinubu Tax,' arguing that every petrol price increase directly raises living costs for food, transportation, and electricity across Nigeria.
  • Private schools increased fees by between 30 and 40 per cent, the ADC reported, while families are now skipping meals and withdrawing children from school to survive.
  • Nigerians face a 2027 choice between continuing with Tinubu's 'punishment' and the relief programme proposed by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, as the ADC warned against interpreting public patience as approval.
  • Unlike Tinubu and the APC, the ADC argues that economic reform must serve the people, insisting Nigeria cannot be an oil-producing nation where citizens experience every filling station visit as 'punishment.
