The party demanded for a forensic audit of 60 million litres of petrol that NNPC claimed it was importing under its former Group Managing Director, Dr Maikanti Baru, to justify the subsidy payout.
He also called on the National Assembly to stand on the side of Nigerians, expose all those involved the alleged subsidy corruption, recover the alleged stolen money and channel same to the welfare of Nigerians, especially at this critical time.
