The All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the fuel scarcity Nigeria is currently facing was never caused by the government, describing it as artificial.
The National Secretary, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of APC, Senator John J. Akpanudoedehe made this known on Tuesday, March 2, 2021 in Abuja via a press statement.
He said, the leadership of the APC is in touch with the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva and the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mele Kyari over the fuel queues noticed in some parts of the country.
“We have received assurances from the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and NNPC GMD that there is more than enough petrol to last the country for 40 days. There is no need for panic buying and we urge petroleum filling stations to resist the urge to hoard products and illegally hike prices”, Akpanudoedehe said.
