Senator Dino Melaye maintains he will still lead a protest if the
Federal government does not revert to the old pump price of N86.50
within seven days. Speaking as a guest on Channels TV yesterday night
May 15th, Dino maintained that he will still be leading the protest but
also said that he will open a register where Nigerians will express
their displeasure over the increase in petrol price.
"I will go on the street if there is no reversal of the price. We will
open a register after the seven days ultimatum and ask Nigerians to come
and register and show their displeasure and after that we will go and
present the signatures of Nigerians in the register to Mr President".
Asked what the register will amount to, Melaye said
"It will amount to the fact that Nigerians are not pleased, Nigerians
are not supporting the increase and that we are saying that this is
democracy, there must be consultation, there must be negotiations. with
the people"he said
Senator Melaye also stated that signals that bedeviled PDP during the last administration are beginning to manifest in the APC.
"There is no denial of the fact that I participated very seriously in
the campaigns of the APC and I am very proud and I have no regret in it.
I want to say categorically that the APC is not distracted form the
implementation of its manifesto but I also will want to say that we have
to be very careful as a party because those signals that actually
bedeviled the PDP are beginning to manifest in APC"he said
