Second Republic Senate President Ameh Ebute has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to bring down the price of fuel in the country.
Ebute, who was Senate President briefly in November 1993, said the high cost of fuel was responsible for the severe hardship in the country.
He advised Tinubu to find ways to revise the pump price of petroleum products in the country.
The elder statesman spoke in an interview with journalists in Calabar.
“Tinubu should work seriously at taming the suffering of the people and ensuring peace, because without foods, it can easily ignite anger.
“I want to advise him to look at bringing down prices of food in the country. To do this, he should reverse the price of fuel.
“As soon as fuel pump price reduces, costs of food will reduce,” he said.
According to him, Tinubu, with his Renewed Hope Agenda, has not done badly in his style of governance despite hyperinflation in the country.
