  "account": "Chuks Okocha, Presidential candidate of the Accord Party, revealed his proposed ₦605 per litre petrol price to be the starting point of a broader energy policy. This price reflects the cost of domestic crude production, refining, and delivery to Nigerian consumers. The cost breakdown includes $45 per barrel for crude, $30 for refining, and $15 for profit, leading to a price of approximately ₦502 per litre. Hashim's campaign suggests a potential decrease to ₦200–₦300 per litre by addressing cost factors and improving energy security.",
