The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has directed its members across the federation to sell Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) at N140 as part of the association’s contribution towards encouraging voters to participate in the rescheduled electoral processes.

 

The directive was announced on Sunday by the National President of the association, Elder Chinedu Okoronkwo, represented by Northwest Zonal chairman of the association, Alhaji Bashir Salisu Tahir in Kano. He noted that the association’s president, Mr. Okworonkwo has directed that the implementation of the directives should take effect from Wednesday, 20th February 2019.

Tahir noted that the decision followed last Saturday’s postponement of Presidential and National Assembly elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

According to him, Nigerians had traveled to different places across the country in order to cast their votes, but to their dismay, the elections were shifted.

He added that IPMAN was prompted to slash N5 from the N145 official petroleum pump price in a bid to motivate Nigerians to return to their respective destinations to vote on February 23 and March 9 respectively.

“We urged all our members across Nigeria to immediately reduce the price of petroleum pump price from N145 to N140 as directed.

The IPMAN president urged its members nationwide to immediately implement the directives maintaining that the IPMAN’s decision to reduce the petroleum pump price followed President Muhammadu Buhari’s concern over the election postponement.
