The president’s announcement resulted in an immediate return of lines at gas stations and a nationwide increase in the price of the product at the pump.
Subsequently, the government team met with organized labour, but the meeting ended in stalemate and was rescheduled for Monday, June 5.
Meanwhile, Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) candidate, has insisted that he won the last presidential election, despite Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) being declared the victor.
Obi, who continued his case before the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) in Abuja on Monday, June 5, submitted additional presidential election results from eight states.
The five-member panel led by Justice Haruna Tsammani admitted the results from Ebonyi, Nasarawa, Delta, Kaduna, Imo, Ondo, Sokoto, and Kogi as evidence.
