The group said that though it will try to engage the Nigerian Government in discussions over the issue in the coming days, it will quickly mobilise for mass protest against Buhari's administration if it failed to adhere to the yearnings of the people to quell any such plan.

A civil rights group, Nigeria First, has said that it will join protests across the country against plans by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration to increase the pump price of petrol and inflict more hardship on citizens.

"The idea is not only very untimely but inimical to the growth and development of any decent society at this point." Recall that the Nigerian Government had announced that fuel subsidy will be removed in February, causing fear of a rise in the pump price of petrol. Also rejecting the plan by government, President of Nigeria Labour Congress, Ayuba Wabba, in a New Year message to workers, called on citizens to prepare for war against the fuel price hike.

We forget so easily…this is the same president that said we were paying too much buying fuel for N87 under Goodluck. If you want to see hypocrites, come to Nigerian government!

The rising price of fuel is due to subsidy removal as directed by IMF ,these are the economic suppressive policies giving out by IMF after issuing out loans to us,they claim is to ensure we are able to pay the loans but in reality ,they are trying to suppress our economy

They will see protest that would knock them out. This one will come front and back side to side and killers would be confused.

Planned protest. Let it be clear, there will be 2 groups of protesters. For and Against.

This is the new year giveaway from the presidency. Omo this CHANGE don tire person

Buhari should resign over old age comment, says Edo activistAn Edo-based human rights activist, Patrick Eholor, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign and apologise to Nigerians telling on Nigerians that age is telling on him. This human rights activist is not serious. Shmmmm! We should be preparing to say goodbye to Buhari in 14 months and brace up as a people to look beyond our prejudices and biases and tribes to choose an underdog who has no connection with past corrupt leaders as our President.
