A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has urged President Bola Tinubu to put an end to the constant fuel scarcity in the country.
Oyintiloye lamented that Nigerians believed that fuel scarcity would end after the removal of fuel subsidy but reverse has been the case.
He emphasized the urgent need for the President’s intervention due to the suffering Nigerians face almost monthly as a result of fuel scarcity.
“Nigerians had hoped that the fuel scarcity would end after the Federal Government removed the fuel subsidy.
“However, instead of the situation improving, it has worsened, causing untold hardship for Nigerians who now have to purchase fuel at very high prices,” Oyintiloye stated.
He urged President Tinubu to investigate the activities of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to uncover the root causes of the persistent fuel shortages.
While acknowledging the ongoing economic challenges, Oyintiloye stressed that inadequate fuel supply should not be added to the already tense situation.
“In recent months, Nigerians have faced severe difficulties obtaining petroleum products at filling stations across the country,” he noted. “I appeal to the President to rescue Nigerians who are enduring immense hardship due to the fuel scarcity,” he added.
