Fuel hike: ‘Daniel’ will soon come to judgement’ – Ezekwesili

A former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili has expressed hope that the country would be freed from those she described as “wily genre of politicians” no matter how long it takes.

Ezekwesili’s statement followed the recent report of adjustment in the pump price of petroleum.

The development comes amid speculation of an upward review of fuel pump prices nationwide.

News Men earlier visited an NNPC filling station along the Kubwa expressway, Abuja, and confirmed that the fuel price had been adjusted from N539 to N617 per litre.

In a post via her verified Twitter handle on Tuesday, the former Minister said “Daniel” would soon come to judgement against deceitful politicians that swallow public resources while asking poor citizens to ‘sacrifice’.

She wrote, “Our people in Africa say, “No matter how long it takes, the stammerer does eventually pronounce his surname.

“Someday, a ‘Daniel’ will come to judgement no matter the shenanigans and stunts of these wily genre of politicians that swallow public resources while asking poor citizens to ‘sacrifice.’
