The PDP believe its presidential candidate in next year's general election has a template that will reduce the price of petrol from N145 to at least N87.

Atiku Abubakar already has the support of his party PDP in a planned bid to reduce the price of fuel in Nigeria to an affordable amount. At his conglomerates, staff have received approval for a new minimum wage.

Fuel Pump Price: Our Presidential candidate, @atiku, has worked out a pricing template that will immediately crash the pump price of fuel in the country, since the @MBuhari -led @OfficialAPCNg administration, in its insensitivity, has failed to do the needful in the last 3 years. pic.twitter.com/RSWn3YqwPx

We completely reject the @MBuhari-led FG’s increase of the official prices of diesel and kerosine. Such increment will bring more economic pressure on the already impoverished nation, as most businesses and homes across the country heavily rely on these products for sustenance pic.twitter.com/L3CihXLgWc

Our Party is talking with top international players in the oil and gas industry, and this engagements has shown that the appropriate pump price of fuel in the Nigerian market, under the current subsidy regimes of the Buhari Presidency, should be within the borders of N87 to N90 pic.twitter.com/4cOnsEcdnG

In more tweets, the PDP points a finger at Buhari's cabal who are accused of diverting fund supposedly allocated for fuel subsidy.

According to the party, there is no justification for selling fuel at N145 per litre.

With the current price template of crude oil in the international market, the @MBuhari administration has no justification to keep the pump price of fuel at N145 per liter and watch Nigerians groan under the weight of high prices, while a cabal at the presidency loot the funds pic.twitter.com/i6fWV227Dt

For every N145 paid for a liter of fuel, the @MBuhari Presidency cabal diverts a hidden N58 which Nigerians have continued to pay since the fuel price was increased from N87 to presumably subsidized cost of N145. pic.twitter.com/jFL3VCfAIy

Apart from the N1.4 trillion allegedly siphoned through sleazy oil subsidy deals, the @MBuhari-led FG is burdened to account for the over N3.49 trillion stolen under the hidden N58 per liter of fuel on over 50 million daily domestic consumption estimated in the last three years. pic.twitter.com/GsNQc4BRHg
