                   Social Commentator, Japheth Omojuwa says “From paying virtually no subsidies, the Nigerian government has now fashioned out away to pay N10/litre subsidies”.
Hafiz Adaji seem not impressed by the price reduction, “Dropping fuel price to 87 Naira/Ltr doesn’t justify the bad leadership led by his administration. You are still not worthy of my vote GEJ”.

Ikechi Ugwoeje refers back to history, “So GEJ joins Yar’adua as the only Nigerian Presidents to reduce fuel price. Wonder how much this will help his campaign”.
Joshua Awolowo is concerned about the take-off time for the new price, “There has been a reduction of ten naira #10 from the price of Petrol, Now its 87, meant to take effect immediately”.
Tina Ese results to mathematics, “if someone buys a liter of fuel would he give them the exact #87 or would they give him coins? So the #87 still boils down to 90..E no good”.
