A Yoruba chieftain, Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, on Monday, condemned the rise in the prices of gas and electricity meters.
He lamented that majority of Nigerians and households are affected by the increment.
Adams, in a statement by his spokesman, Kehinde Aderemi, said citizens already enduring the economic situation of the country should not be further burdened.
The Yoruba leader warned the federal government to desist from policies that will worsen the pains of the masses.
Adams insisted that timing is deeply insensitive to the plights of the people struggling to cope with the high costs of commodities.
