From Auwal Ahmad, Gombe
Over 1,000 people have registered their names in preparation for protest in Gombe metropolis yesterday over the removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government.
Speaking to Peoples Daily at the Emir of Gombe’s palace, venue of the registration, the former National President of Gombe state Student Association, Sani Sabo said, “enough is enough in assassinating our destiny, we must rise up to defend the future of our nation and younger generations unborn”.
He added that Nigeria is among the top oil rich counties in the world but suddenly removed fuel subsidy from N65 to N140 per liter in such an unfair, unjust, embarrassing, ashamed and distrustful manner.
According to him, “History will never forgive our leaders who insisted that Jonathan must rule Nigeria in the last general elections; I think we should cooperate with NLC if at all they are serious to protest the deregulation."
Speaking to our Correspondent Barrister Luka Haruna Musa who is also the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) said that the present government is very insensitive to the feelings of Nigerians.
He added, “I think the government has fired the first shot against the people of Nigeria and eventually it is the very bullet that will consume the political leadership of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
