ALL Progressives Congress (APC) Senators yesterday shut down moves by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to summon President Muhammadu Buhari, who is also the Minister of Petroleum Resources, to appear before the Senate over the biting fuel scarcity.
In a motion sponsored by Senator Barau Jibrin (APC, Kano North) and co-sponsored by 23 others, the lawmakers expressed worries over the endless fuel scarcity and the hardship it has inflicted on Nigerians.
“We are worried that the scarcity is creating an untold hardship to our citizens who have to pay higher prices for these products especially petrol. We are convinced that the current situation is not in tune with the desire of the progressively-inclined government to bring”, he said.
Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe (PDP, Abia South), urged the Senate to summon the President to tell law- makers why the government was yet to resolve the lingering fuel crisis, despite claims that the refineries were working.
Abaribe’s amendment to the motion was defeated when the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, put it up for a voice vote. APC Senators who were obviously more in number, drowned the voices of their PDP counterparts.
Meanwhile, the Senate has mandated its Committee on Petroleum Downstream to urgently examine all is- sues associated with the current scarcity of petroleum products and determine how the legislature could collaborate with the executive to bring a lasting solution that will prevent any future problem of fuel scarcity. The committee is expected to report back to the Senate as soon as possible.

Combining the task of being a president and a federal minister is not an easy task but since Baba said he is up to the task, I have no issues with that.
The issue is APC were busy druming Change into the ears of Nigerians, and I personally was ready for the change but why are they fighting against it now. I don't think its a big deal for our Hon. Minister of Petroleum to appear before the Senate and explain the situation at hand.

It's not in tune with the desire of bla bla
Then let Buhari appear before you guys and explain things now.
We did not vote in you guys to summon some and freed others.

Why won't he call for voice vote. He knew what would be the outcome even before that action.
This is what happens when you appear before equity with dirty and stained hands. This man hand dirty joor to be our leader in the legislature. Any move by him against Buhari will amount to CCT news coming around again.


Bottomline; lets shun all these parties stuff and support our only country. Forget APC or PDP, we know them well. Birds of the same feathers. Our country matters most now. And I believe with God, she will be great again.
Pray for your President.
With God(Allah) directing his steps nt those selfish parties elders, he will turn things around for our good.

isokay

I blame "PDP 16 Years" misrule for the fuel shortage across the country now, and for the inability of the 'Super Clueless' President cum Petroleum Minister to stabilize the world oil price, and for the quick expiration of his body language that was making the local refineries to work without his interference.

I blame the last administration for all the hardship caused Nigerians since May 29th 2015.

I also blame the immediate past administration for allowing protest in Lagos when the subsidy was about to be removed, btw: "What is Fuel Subsidy" ?

All the blames also goes to the past administrations corruption.


APC, party of career liars and professional propagandists.

May God give our leads wisdom in this country to direct the affairs of government in forward gear and not in reverse gear mode and for the interest of the poor masses not for party nor individual interest.

This kind of change nah fake ooh...i dnt believe in such a change..
