He described the sudden hike in petrol price and attendant queues as ‘unfair’, adding that Nigerians need to be sincere enough.
”I think it is so early in the day for people to begin to second-guess our new president.
“This is a pronouncement, and I think it is unfair on all of our major marketers to want to begin to seize opportunity in areas where there is none.
”We all need to be sincere in this country, if we really want to get things done, let us know that we might need to belt up a little bit, but it’s really so that we have a better life down the line.

”There is nothing that has changed in that pronouncement that should have caused the queue. I am sure that the Federal Government that we have would be able to rise up and be able to deal with it.
”I will encourage everyone to be law abiding, to go about their normal business, and things will certainly turn out for the better for us,” Sanwo-Olu said.
