Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele
Fayose has condemned the federal government over its nonchalant attitude
towards ending the fuel scarcity being experienced across the country.
He called for immediate
resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari as the minister of petroleum.
The governor, who reiterated his
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, added that;
“Already, fuel is being sold officially at between N180 and N200 at petrol
stations across the country.”
In a release issued on Friday,
Governor Fayose’s Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media,
Lere Olayinka, quoted him as saying that “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.”
The governor 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.”
Governor Fayose said; “Like I
said a few days ago, what the federal government is doing is to create scarcity
so that Nigerians will be willing to buy at any price, provided the product is
made available.
“It was to achieve this planned
increment of petrol pump price that they restricted supply of petrol to NNPC
alone.”
The governor, who sympathized
with Nigerians for the hardship they are being made to go through by the APC
government, said; “I warned Nigerians before President Buhari was elected and I
am telling Nigerians now that the only option to rescue our country from being
brought down completely is to vote out Buhari and his APC in 2019.”
