The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has said he will moderate fuel pump prices if elected President in the 2027 election.
Report has it that Peter Obi made the pledge during an interview with Arise Television on Thursday.
The former Governor of Anambra State also promised to remove corruption from the fuel subsidy system to ensure that petrol prices come down.
According to Peter Obi, the removal of the fuel subsidy did not worsen poverty in the North, stressing that other factors are responsible.
He said, “We’ll moderate fuel prices all over Nigeria. We will remove corruption from the subsidy. When I remove it, petrol and everything else will go down. We are buying fuel at a high cost.
“The poverty in the North was not worsened by the removal of the fuel subsidy. There are other factors. That is not what is causing insecurity.”
