The All Progressive Congress (APC) has accused stakeholders
in the petroleum industry of hoarding the product which has led to its scarcity
in cities across the nation.
The ruling party in a tweet on Friday apologised to
Nigerians for the inconvenience the situation may have caused, noting however,
that there is no actual fuel scarcity, rather, some persons have hoarded the
product for selfish reasons.
“There’s no ‘actual scarcity’. Some stakeholders hoarding
allocated products in order to cause artificial scarcity/panic buying, for
their selfish interests.
“However, it’s unacceptable, even as relevant authorities
are on the matter. Any inconvenience is regretted.
This comes shortly after the Peoples Democratic Party on
Friday challenged President Muhammadu Buhari, as the Minister of Petroleum
Resources, to find a quick solution to the lingering fuel scarcity now ravaging
all parts of the country.
In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary,
Kola Ologbondiyan, the party insisted that it is not enough for the President
to sit in his comfort zone and put the blames of the fuel scarcity at the
doorsteps of marketers, while Nigerians continue to suffer untold hardship.
The PDP, however, urged Nigerians not to despair but
rekindle their hope in the future as the party is now re-positioned to regain
power in 2019 and return the nation to the path of good governance, social
stability and economic growth, for which it is generally known.
As the fuel scarcity enters its third week, with fuel queues
getting longer even as the yuletide season draws near, Nigerians have their
fingers crossed with hopes that the Federal Government can bring an end to the
issue.
