  "summary": "The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has criticized opposition parties for rejecting the Federal Government's proposed 30-day petrol discount, calling their reaction disappointing and politically motivated. The opposition, including the Obidient Movement, the Nigeria Democratic Congress, and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde's presidential campaign organisation, have described the discount as inadequate and politically motivated. The Lagos APC spokesman, Seye Oladejo, stated that the opposition should welcome efforts to ease the burden on Nigerians while offering constructive suggestions for improvement. The Federal Government announced the temporary discount through Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited retail outlets, with priority given to public transport operators, as part of measures to cushion Nigerians against global crude oil price shocks.",
