The Peoples Democratic Party, Lagos
State chapter, has decried the fuel
scarcity in the country, claiming that it
was APC’s Christmas gift to Nigerians.

Mr. Taofik Gani, the Publicity
Secretary of Lagos PDP, said this in a
recent interview the Punch news
reporters.

Mr. Gani recalled that President
Muhammadu Buhari promise
Nigerians there would be no scarcity
again in the country, but claimed
that the situation had worsen.

“The first Christmas that Nigerians,
especially Lagosians, will mark
under the APC will go down in
history as one of the worst due to the
worsening fuel scarcity. The
electricity supply which President
Buhari promised last year has not
come to pass and those who want to
use generators cannot make use of
generators as filling stations are not
dispensing fuel in jerry cans.”

Gani also lambasted Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, Minister of Information
and Culture, for blaming former
President Goodluck Jonathan for the
fuel scarcity.

“Nigerians know that it is not true
that Jonathan is the reason why
everything has gone worse under
Buhari. The APC has the tendency
to claim Jonathan’s achievements
but blame him for its
inefficiencies.

“A few weeks after President
Buhari assumed power, he took
credit for the improvement in the
power sector, saying that his body
language had evoked change when
everyone knew that it was
Jonathan’s achievement.”

“Now that Nigerians are groaning,
the APC is blaming Jonathan. You
cannot have your cake and eat it.
He claimed that APC is yet to fulfil
any of their promises.
