Former Minister of Aviation and prominent PDP figure, Osita Chidoka, has voiced his concerns regarding Nigeria’s ongoing fuel and energy crisis. In a detailed post on his Facebook page, Chidoka highlighted the harsh realities faced by Nigerians due to soaring fuel prices.

“Yesterday, I spent ₦100,000 on fuel, nearly filling the tank of a Lexus 460 Jeep,” he revealed. At a price of ₦1,140 per litre, he noted, this amount exceeds Nigeria’s ₦70,000 minimum wage by ₦30,000.
