Veteran actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo has recently expressed his discontent with Nigerians who are now paying N1000 per litre for fuel. He pointed out the irony that these same individuals had once protested against a fuel price increase to N140 per litre back in 2012.

During that time, a significant protest took place in Ojota, led by figures who are now in positions of influence and have contributed to the current high fuel prices. Okonkwo noted that the leaders of the 2012 protests are now responsible for the staggering price of N1000 per litre that Nigerians are facing today.

The protest in 2012 was a significant event, with many, including current President Bola Tinubu, voicing their opposition to the fuel price hike under President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration. Okonkwo’s comments bring attention to the perceived hypocrisy in the way fuel prices have escalated over the years.
