President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday assured Nigerians that the difficulties being faced by motorists who are queuing for fuel across the country is temporary.
He said with the issue of payment being addressed by his government, fuel queues at filling stations would end in the next one or two days.
Jonathan gave the assurance while featuring on Kakaaki, a breakfast programme of the African Independent Television, monitored by NE.
"For the fuel scarcity, we are doing everything humanly possible to ensure it is taken care of. It is very temporary. Of course, there are issues of payment being addressed and we believe that within one or two days, this will completely go," the President assured.
He however explained that Nigeria may not completely get out of the wood until the nation starts refining its crude oil locally.
He said it had remained the belief of his administration that if the country continues to export raw materials, it will be exporting jobs.
On security, Jonathan expressed the belief that the over 200 schoolgirls abducted in their school in Chibok, Borno State last year are still alive.
He based his position on the belief that terrorists would naturally want to display the corpses of the girls if they had been killed.
He reiterated his promise that the girls would be rescued alive.
"The good story is that they (the insurgents) have not killed them (the abducted girls) because when terrorists kill, they display so that they use it to intimidate the people in the society. So, these girls are alive. And so, we will get the girls. Luckily, we are narrowing down the areas of their control. So we will get them," Jonathan said.

Thank you , Mr. President. If not for the bad eggs surrounding your administration, you do not need a competitor. PDP agents told Nigerians APC was the cause of the scarcity. These your people need training to be able to speak the truth sometimes.

ReplyDeleteJonathan, Jonathan! Time will tell.
ReplyDeleteFor 6 years you no revamp refineries Na railways we no dey use you revamp. You no set your priority well. For this reason, I no go vote for you.
ReplyDeleteWayo man, using Nigerians' lives to play dirty politics. Well I can't wait for those poor children to be brought back, that's all I have to say.
ReplyDeleteGod let dem still b girls. Are sure that they have not been turned to mothers? You leave these young girls with those barbarians for so long nd u tink everything will still b ok? Your promises is not what we hope on. Its God for those girls to be ok.
ReplyDeleteThat is what GEJ has been saying. He plays politics with peoples lives. You allowed these girls to suffer for about a year, now because you want re-election, you are fighting to bring them back. The parents of these girls, how would they have been faring since their abduction? Yet some of your fanatics see nothing wrong with you not protecting people you swore to protect. Well, what goes round will someday come around. They will face the ordeal that the parents of these girls faced for them to understand. O.J
