As reported by Daily Trust, he stated this while addressing newsmen on Wednesday, December 11.
Legit.ng reports that following the removal of fuel subsidy, premium motor spirit (PMS) also known as petrol presently sold at about N1,100 and N1,200 across the nation.
According to George, selling fuel at N300 would reduce the cost of food items.
He added that the move would make Nigerians celebrate Christmas in a joyous mood and would be full of prayers for President Tinubu during the Yuletide period.
The PDP chieftain said reducing fuel prices from now till January to the “anger and hunger” in the country.
Suggesting how Tinubu can make the reduction possible, he said President Tinubu can come up with the cost implication of the reduction.
After this, the president will seek donations from well-meaning and philanthropic Nigerians.
“Doing this, you would be sending a message of happiness to every home during this Christmas and New Year. This is a challenge I have thrown to him and I know he can do it,”
