 The Yoruba Council of Youth worldwide has raised an alarm over the current increase in petroleum products, calling for the resignation of the managing director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Melechiare. While arguing that businesses we solely rely on diesel are on the brink of collapse, the youth group says the high cost of transportation has also worsened the level of inflation. Addressing newsmen in Abuja, the president of the Council Aare Oladutun Hassan asked President Mohamed Ibuari to intervene. The Council also raised alarm over the importation of adulterated fuel, which it said had cost unbearable damages to Nigerians. Our delivery to the entire Nigerian populace to know that as Nigerians we cannot be shot down, we can never be intimidated. We were confronted with the Melechiare's theme. Of security who intimidated us from presenting our peaceful demands are knowingfully well the nation is biding hard on the premise of its excesses, of its incompetence, of its misplaced priorities and total neglect of the Nigerians' pains. Considering the total fallout of the astronomical increase in diesel and phone price of petroleum and a lot of other issues which was what led us to hosting this all-important rally, we still maintain it as a rally because that is what we intended to achieve, to let Mr. President know that we are angry, we are frustrated and our citizenship is put at risk because of the daily atrocities being perpetrated by the new management of the Nigerian Petroleum Corporation, led by Melechiare as the chief executive officer. It is in this regard that we would like to formally present what we intend to present to Mr. Melechiare which is a letter of immediate replacement as the CEO of the Nigerian National Petroleum.
