Fayose - APC deliberately orchestrated the fuel scarcity for this Xmas and New year period

0

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State take the public his bitterness about the sudden scarcity of fuel, he also urge the president Muhammadu Buhari wakeup and do something about the persisting fuel scarcity across the country.

According to PDP Buhari is punishing Nigerians with the scarcity and that as the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Buhari has the responsibility to find a quick solution to the lingering fuel scarcity.
Both PDP and the chairman of its Governors Forum, Fayose, made their criticism in separate statements, this was released on Friday.
In the PDP statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, the party said, “The unbearable fuel situation in the country is completely unacceptable. Mr. President must become up and doing. He should not allow anybody to push him to claim that the issue of fuel scarcity is not under the purview of the Minister of Petroleum Resources.
“When he took office as President of Nigeria and also as the Minister of Petroleum Resources, he was aware that the buck stops at his table. Nigerians must not be made to suffer especially at this time of the year when we have the Yuletide and New Year festivities, which come with a lot of activities.
“This is the same APC government that promised that it will make fuel available and affordable. Today, under their deceitful and corrupt watch, fuel has not only become extremely scarce, the price has also risen from where the PDP left it at N86.50k per litre to as high as N300 per litre and above.
“The effect is that transport fares, running costs, prices of food, medicines and other basic needs have soared beyond the reach of Nigerians, who are now groaning heavily under the hardship of APC misrule.
Fayose, in a release issued through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, condemned the Federal Government over its nonchalant attitude towards ending the fuel scarcity.
Reiterating his earlier position that the All Progressives Congress (APC) Federal Government was punishing Nigerians with fuel scarcity so as to achieve its planned increment of petrol pump price from N145 to not less than N185 per litre, Fayosesaid, “Already, fuel is being sold officially at between N180 and N200 at petrol stations across the country.
“It is sad that this Buhari’s APC government had to choose this Christmas and New Year period to ground Nigeria with the fuel scarcity that it deliberately orchestrated.”
He then called for the immediate resignation of President Buhari as the Minister of Petroleum, noting that “it is obvious that the president has failed in all ramifications and he needs to do Nigerians a favour by relinquishing the portfolio of minister of petroleum.”
