Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Second Republic Senate President Ameh Ebute has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to bring down the price of fuel in the country.<\/p>\n

Ebute, who was Senate President briefly in November 1993, said the high cost of fuel was responsible for the severe hardship in the country.<\/p>\n

He advised Tinubu to find ways to revise the pump price of petroleum products in the country.<\/p>\n

The elder statesman spoke in an interview with journalists in Calabar.<\/p>\n

\u201cTinubu should work seriously at taming the suffering of the people and ensuring peace, because without foods, it can easily ignite anger.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to advise him to look at bringing down prices of food in the country. To do this, he should reverse the price of fuel.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as fuel pump price reduces, costs of food will reduce,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, Tinubu, with his Renewed Hope Agenda, has not done badly in his style of governance despite hyperinflation in the country.<\/p>\n
