You Have Set A New Record Of Longest Fuel Scarcity In Nigerian History – Atiku Fires Buhari On Christmas

The Christmas message from the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar didn’t come with a tone of friendliness towards the ruling All Progressive Congress, led by president Muhammadu Buhari.

Atiku who issued his Christmas message through his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu said the APC administration had set a new record of the longest petrol scarcity in the history of Nigeria.

He noted that the current fuel scarcity which began in January 2022, on account of the importation of adulterated petrol had refused to ease.

The statement reads in part: “With the fuel scarcity now continuing till December, the government has run out of excuses even as most Nigerians are now at the mercy of black marketers who sell petrol as high as N500 per litre. The NNPC which is the sole importer of petrol has failed to live up to its duties, clear evidence that its privatisation is merely cosmetic.

“But the biggest culprit in this mess is President Muhammadu Buhari who is the minister of petroleum. It is saddening that he has failed to bring succour to Nigerians who are suffering from the worsening inflation, unemployment and insecurity.

“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 subsidising criminality. It is obvious that Tinubu’s statement is an indictment on Buhari.”
