Defending the new price increase, Kachikwu spoke in Abuja on May 11 saying the increment in the price of premium motor spirit also known as fuel by the federal government will serve as a way of curbing the unchecked fuel price increase suffered by Nigerians at various fuel stations in the country.
He added that the federal government has provisions in the 2016 budget aimed at reducing the effects the price increase may have on citizens.
“Since we are in #SubsidyRemovalSeason, (after Power and Petrol), and before we tamper with VAT, income taxes etc the most beneficial policy to Nigerians at this time will be to stop Subsidising the Champagne and Oppressive lifestyles of elected government officials (NASS should take a 50% cut in ‘Allowances’) and instead increase minimum wage by at least 50% to reflect current realities.
“The Presidency will also do very well to save Nigerians the cost of subsidising a presidential fleet of 9 jets. #EvenTheBritishPm flies BA and I don’t know that there are multiple Airforce One’s for Obama’s use. And please remove ya hand from the matter of fuehh pricing. If you promise marketers dollar @298 and they have to source it by themselves @365 will you epp them pay the balance/deficit? Or readjust the fuehh price again? Back to subsidy?
“And please can we fast track proceedings on the PIB already. And please @PMB, I know ‘you can afford it’ but biko where do you get your Forex cos even @365 I can’t find it. I’ll pay you commission sef walahi. And please do you buy at official rate, inter-bank rate or parallel market rate? #Kontinuu #WhoYouEpp #ChidiSense #Change #RealChange #Discuss.”
The 44-year-old entertainer has enjoyed critical acclaim as the host of the Gulder Ultimate Search reality show.
He has also featured in several best-selling movies such as Critical Condition, Abuja Connection and Fire Dancer among others.
Chidi Mokeme is famed for his unique, suave sense of style and fashion taste.
