Senator Shehu Sani has made an ironic comment that the incessant complaint of fuel scarcity is an element of Tinubu’s success story in Nigeria.
Rufai made this statement in a post he shared on his X handle on Saturday.
He wrote , “Fuel scarcity again! NNPC is a big success! Fuel scarcity again, elements of Tinubu’s success story!”.
However Rufai’s statement is coming following Nigerians expression of anger and frustration over the prolonged scarcity of Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol, across various states nationwide.
It was observed on August 15 that the scarcity of petrol has led to widespread queues by motorists at filling stations in Abuja, Kaduna, Niger, Adamawa, Kano, Bauchi, and Delta, among others.
Although the queues were not severe in the South-West, findings showed that the cost of petrol in most of the affected states was close to N1,000/litre at filling stations.
Marketers explained that the South-West had fewer queues because petrol normally move from the coastal areas in the zone to the North, adding that the recent protests halted the free movement of trucks to other regions.
Black marketers has taken advantage of the situation in states that had severe scarcity, as they sold petrol for between N1,200/litre and N1,500/litre depending on the area of purchase.
NNPC has however stayed mute when contacted to speak on the persistent fuel scarcity and the claims by dealers that it was rationing PMS supply.
