Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, on Thursday, said
the price war between Dangote Refinery and the Nigeria National Petroleum
Company Limited, NNPCL, is a “skit.”
Sani was reacting to the decision of the Federal Government
not to intervene in the price war between NNPCL and Dangote Refinery.
On Wednesday, the Federal Government said it would not
interfere in the petrol pump price face-off between the NNPCL and Dangote
Refinery.
Stating the position of the Federal Government, President
Bola Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, said both parties were at liberty to
determine their own market prices for consumers.
Onanuga said all petroleum stakeholders are allowed to
operate and set their prices according to economic market forces because it has
been deregulated.
Reacting, Sani posted on X: “Now that the FG will not
intervene in the Price war between Dangote and the NNPCL shows that ‘the war’
is a Skit.”
