Atiku Abubakar, standard bearer of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), says Nigerians will not spend the next Christmas on petrol queues
if he is elected as president.
In a statement on Saturday, Phrank Shaibu, media aide to
Abubakar, quoted the former vice-president as saying that the All Progressives
Congress (APC) has set a record for the longest petrol scarcity in the history
of the country.
Abubakar said it is sad that President Muhammadu Buhari has
failed to address the situation.
“It is disheartening that a country that claims to spend
$40m daily on petrol subsidy cannot still make the product available to its
people. This is clear evidence that the monies are going into private pockets
ahead of elections at the expense of Nigerians,” he said.
“The APC which is
running for a third term through the person of Bola Ahmed Tinubu is now
promising renewed hope after dashing the hopes of millions of Nigerians for the
last eight years.
“It is exasperating that Tinubu is promising to remove
petrol subsidy when his party has retained it for the last seven years and
spent billions of dollars subsidizing criminality.
“It is obvious that Tinubu’s statement is an indictment on
Buhari.
“Atiku Abubakar
hereby promises Nigerians that this will be their last Christmas that will be
spent at a filling station queuing for petrol. Voting APC in February will be a
reinforcement of failure which could push Nigeria into an existential crisis.”
