Peter Obi, a politician known for his widespread appeal across Nigeria’s ethnic groups, once again demonstrated his ability to unify and calm tense situations during a recent encounter in Kogi State. This incident was shared by Ikenna Mbanefo, who narrated their experience while travelling from Anambra to Kogi.

As Mbanefo and his group reached Unobe, a town in Olamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State, they found themselves in a long line of stationary vehicles.

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. Chidoka emphasized the stark contrast between earnings and the cost of fuel, pointing out that a minimum wage worker, who earns ₦437.5 per hour, would need to work 2.6 hours to afford just one litre of petrol.

He further compared the situation to other countries. In Egypt, where fuel costs ₦443 per litre and the minimum wage is ₦202,400 per month (₦1,265 per hour), it takes…
