Legit.ng earlier reported that following President Bola Tinubu's pronouncement on Monday, May 29, that "fuel subsidy is gone", oil marketers have reacted as many filling stations have immediately closed and others have inflated the price of petrol by over 100%.
For over 72 hours now, the oil marketers have held the country to ransom after the pronouncement by President Tinubu that the previous administration did not make provision for subsidy in the 2023 budget, therefore, it was gone.
