Reports of fuel scarcity accross Nigeria in the last few days have been nothing but alarming.
In an attempt to pacify Nigerians, President Muhammadu Buhari took to twitter to express his concern and to urge Nigerians to “endure the needless fuel queues”
The fuel scarcity being experienced nationwide is regrettable. I sympathize with all Nigerians,on having to endure needless fuel queues. I'm being regularly briefed, especially on the NNPC's interventions to ensure that there is enough petrol available during this period & beyond— Muhammadu Buhari (@MBuhari) December 24, 2017
This of course did not go down well with Nigerians, who mostly reacted angrily to the president’s tweet, some saying he only reacted because Abubarkar Atiku had reacted earlier.
See reactions to the president’s tweet below:
We got his reaction about fuel scarcity only because atiku talked about it. Like it or not, atiku has a stake— Ayodeji 🐐 (@iamaayoo) December 24, 2017
Atiku runs successful businesses. He is a more moderate politician. He is not a religious or ethnic bigot. And Yes, Buhari is also corrupt. His govt brought back Maina and he did nothing about it. Babachir is a free man. I’d rather an imperfect Atiku who has better Mgt skills.— Nigeria1st (@Ojaysvoice) December 24, 2017
Having you as president is regrettable.— Ajibola Bakare (@MrAjibola) December 24, 2017

Dear sir,— Mayowa Owolabi (@mayowaowolabi) December 24, 2017
It has taken you too long to respond to this issue and that’s disappointing.
People who voted you into power will spend a better part of the holidays on/in fuel queues around the nation.
Sir, your shortcomings, failures and lapses in/of judgement are becoming too many.
Sir with due respect I think you should resign as minister of petroleum... this only this your government has totally achieve is turning almost all the citizens of this country to a refugees in thier fatherLand..— Ojowuro oluwafemi (@Iamrickflezz) December 24, 2017

The president is old and confused. He doesn't even remember he's the petroleum minister.— men (@polowizkid1) December 24, 2017
You are minister of petroleum and president at the same time, and you are still trying to tell us that you were being brief on what's happening? Please as old as you are why are you still wicked? 😐— NWA Gunners (@stvgod2) December 24, 2017
