Campaign for Democracy (CD) has petitioned the Nigeria Governor’s Forum (NGF) over its proposed fuel subsidy removal, warning that should a dime be added to the price of fuel, it would lead the rest of Nigerians in protest to flush out the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Nigerian political space.
CD gave this warning in a letter titled: “The NGF’S proposed fuel subsidy removal: We will pull down the whole Democratic structure in the country,” and addressed to NGF Chairman, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, who is also the governor of Ekiti State.

Many Nigerians are afraid and apprehensive that the unabating insecurity in the land is a major factor that can prevent the conduct of the 2023 polls.

The ministry came under heavy criticism over its perceived poor handling of palliative distribution in the aftermath of the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic last year.
Many claimed that the ministry shortchanged vulnerable Nigerians with its handling of the exercise, particularly the claim that yet-to-be disclosed billions of naira was spent to feed pupils from poor homes during the period of the lockdown.
