Former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has alleged that the current fuel crisis in the country was introduced to stifle Nigerians planning protest on August 1.
Sowore in a post on his X handle on Monday also accused
mobile telecommunication companies of deliberately targeting Nigerians to slow
down their ability to communicate and mobilize.
According to him, Nigerians were more than ever determined
to end bad governance in Nigeria.
He said: “FUEL CRISIS has been introduced to stifle Nigerias
planning #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria
TELCOS – @MTNNG @GloWorld @AirtelNigeria are deliberately
targeting Nigerians to slow down their ability to communicate and mobilize.
Nigerians are determined more than ever to
#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria during the #DaysOfRage
#Nogoingback #RevolutionNow.”
Depots for Premium Motor Spirit,
PMS, popularly called petrol, are currently dry, leading to fuel scarcity and
attendant queues in major states across the country.
Black marketers have taken advantage of the situation, with
some selling as high as N1,300 per litre and N1,500 per litre in Enugu, Lagos
and Ogun states.
The development is coming on the heels of the plan by some
Nigerians who are mobilising for nationwide protest slated for August 1 to
August 10, 2024.
The organisers of the protest have lamented about widespread
hunger and inflation in the country.
