Speed Darlington calls for referendum after paying N5k for 5 litres of fuel

Controversial US-based Nigerian singer Speed Darlington has bemoaned the high price of fuel in Nigeria only 48 hours after Tinubu's inauguration.

There has been mayhem in numerous parts of Nigeria after fuel station vendors hiked the price of fuel and started hoarding their petroleum products.

This comes on the heels of Tinubu's inauguration speech on Monday, May 31, in which he declared that gasoline subsidies will be eliminated.

In the middle of the debate about fuel price increases, Speed Darlington grumbled on his Instagram page after paying N5000 for 5 liters of fuel at a filling station.

Considering the most recent event, Speed Darling has asked for a referendum in Nigeria.

He contends that not every Nigerian can afford to purchase fuel at that price and that a referendum should be held to ban sellers of fuel from charging such exorbitant prices.

Speed Darlington claimed that he was able to purchase it because he is an artiste and has some extra cash, but he expressed sympathy for the general public who will find it challenging to purchase petrol at such a high price.
