He equally mocked Nigerians, who took to the streets to protest across the country during the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government of former President Goodluck Jonathan, saying that he warned them.

“Petrol is now N151.56. The increment was made when other countries are adopting measures to reduce the effects of COVID-19 lock down on their citizens.

“Just in case those who led the Save Nigeria protests across Nigeria during PDP govt of Jonathan are not aware.

“I warned,” Fayose wrote.
