Finally, Pastor Bakare Speaks On Fuel Price Hike, Says FG Didn't Consult

The General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, says the Federal Government did not consult widely before increasing the price of fuel. He also said the Save Nigeria Group was not against the economic arguments behind fuel subsidy removal in 2012.

Bakare said he and other pro-democracy groups protested against the fuel subsidy removal in 2012 because they wanted former President Goodluck Jonathan to investigate the subsidy regime and recover stolen funds before commencing the discourse on subsidy removal.

The cleric addressed journalists in Lagos on Sunday over the fuel price hike. Bakare, in his address, entitled, “The courage to do the right things,” said those who alleged that he kept quiet on the fuel price hike were not sincere.
