Yesterday, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) called for a reduction in the price of petrol.
It also asked the All Progressives Congress(APC)- led Federal Government to make key investments towards food production.
It said that revamping the manufacturing sector will stimulate employment opportunities and mitigate the sufferings of the people.
The demands were contained in a communiqué issued by the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara.
It was after the party’s 78th meeting in Abuja.
‘’The BoT expresses serious concerns over the worsening economic hardship, acute food crisis and general sense of misery, despondency, uncertainty and hopelessness in the country occasioned by the anti-people policies of the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
“The BoT demands that the APC administration immediately review its policies and take immediate steps to ensure the reduction in the price of fuel’’.
The National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting slated for October 24 will make or mar the party’s resolve to address various internal crises and begin preparations towards the 2027 general elections, the BoT also said in the communique.
The communiqué also emphasised the conviction that all stakeholders in the party now urgently need to address pressing issues and strategise for the future.
