The
governor called for the immediate resignation of President Buhari as the
Minister of Petroleum, noting: “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.”
Dr. Fayose
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; “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 government had to choose this Christmas and New Year period to ground
Nigeria with the fuel scarcity that it deliberately orchestrated. 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 sympathised 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 APC in 2019.” (Guardian)
