NNPC to INEC: We’ll make sure petrol is available during elections

The Nigerian Nationa Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has disclosed that it will ensure the availability of petrol during elections.

Recall that a team from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) led by Mahmood Yakubu, INEC chairperson, visited the NNPC towers in Abuja on Tuesday to discuss the availability of petrol during the forthcoming elections.

Yakubu had earlier stated INEC’s logistics arrangements for the elections may be affected by the scarcity of petrol.

Speaking during the meeting, Mele Kyari, NNPC’s group chief executive officer (GCEO), said the company has always, without formal request, supported INEC in making sure that petrol is available for all vehicles involved in the electoral process.

Makesense Promotions gathered that, Kyari said while is the largest downstream company in the country at present, it is possible that there may be some locations where they are not present.

“We’ll work with your logistics team to identify those areas where we may not have presence so that we can bring in other marketing companies into the conversation so that the products are made available to all the 100,000 vehicles that you have indicated,” he said.

“There will be no difficulty doing this. We have presence; we are everywhere. But where we are not, we will provide commercial conversation between the commission and other marketing companies so that when you need this product, you will have it.

“Also, in addition to this, we’re the only company that has floating mega stations in the country. We will also look at this and see how we can make it available for the purpose of the marine operations in the riverine areas of our country.

“I assure you, just as you have indicated, we have taken very extreme measures to see that we can contain the current distribution challenges that we have and we believe that within the next one week, there will be significant relief, if not elimination, of the current situation that we’re facing.

“In respect of that, we’ll make arrangements to make sure their products are made available to your vehicles during the election period or as a build-up to the elections.”

So only during election period Nigerians need petrol abi? It is an understatement that APC have weaponized poverty.

Serious party

And somebody said these people don't know the reason for scarcity? Make Nigerians dey play. This is politics at play in full glare. Aso Rock cabals are simply against a presidential candidate (TINUBU) and as usual, they will fail.

And you we should be experiencing fuel scarcity at any point in time in this country that God has blessed with everything we need. Very insensitive statement.

if this statement truly comes from NNPC then this fuel scarcity is a set up

Story

It is obvious that these people want APC and of course Tinubu out of the system. The scarcity of the petrolatum products is a strategy to frustrate Tinubu ambition. But we have rejected Atiku with his SPV. Mr Peter Obi is the only option for now.

gfelo:
if this statement truly comes from NNPC then this fuel scarcity is a set up

Nothing confirms Tinubu’s claim that Naira hoarding and fuel scarcity are targeted to truncate his presidential ambition than this statement, coming directly from the primary source.

Useless Petroleum Limited

That one na una problem , but God go still punish una just like you guys have decided to punish us with untiold hardship over the years

So it is now all about the elections? Who shall plead our case, kontrimen and women? Elections are made for man and not man for election, if we must be candid!

Ahh... which kain wahala be this..
So NNPC intentionally hold fuel to suffer Nigerians.. abi which one is we will provide fuel during election ... what happen to providing it right away..seriously the spirit of Japaism is growing in my mind daily..

To those hailing CBN stupid policy.. I hope you are supporting this too.. because based on your logic , Buhari want to punish Tinubu with cash restraint, fuel restraint should be his tactics too


Buhari oo, Tinubu oo, Atiku oo, Obi oo, Emefiele oo and all the remaining nicompoops... Death to all of them..

If you are defending them , heavy headache to you too.. from a very angry Nigerian

Free petrol to inec will be d best.

WICKEDNESS OF MAN TO MAN..SO THE CITIZENS DO NOT MATTER BAH

Just imagine. So petrol can only be available during elections

See our just concluded 3bedroom bungalow construction if you're about starting your building project.. Link in my signature

Why don't you make sure petrol is available now?

I don't know why some people are collecting salary for work not done.
Can someone explain the duties of NNPC

Terrible govt. Terrible NNPC, terrible Emefiele n CBN, terrible commercial banks hoarding cash, terrible Buhari sef.
All of you created hardship to us. I can't withdraw cash. Those that promised me money are also hiding under no cash. Shebi they can transfer, yet them no transfer!
Enu gbeeeeeee!

Lol what happens to making it available now we won't be needing our cars on election day cos there are always restrictions...

mak something available for the masses now or we av to wait till election day before we av access to fuel....


That means you guys are keeping the fuel ⛽ on purpose truly....

Mad people.
Why can't we have it now?

Naija Na cruise true true.

Ok

I said it somewhere that Tinubu opposition is neither Atiku, kwakwanso or Obi his biggest opponent is BUHARI! BUHARI was only bothered about his own PRESIDENCY nothing more and brought the country to turmoil! But I believe Tinubu knew all along right from BUHARI first term in office! So I want to see how he will win the Presidency!
After the election I’m disabling my monika.

Lol so before and during nko?

What of the artificial scarcity of the naira in POS terminals and ATM stands?


The wickedness and selfishness of these politicians will be their destruction even though we know Nigerians are the ones enabling them by accepting every type of rubbish they throw

Radarada

Ok

What a country!

Good one from nnpc

Why not now or are you indirectly trying to tell us that the scarcity was deliberately masterminded. Therefore, we should wait till election period for the whole thing to soft pedal.

WHAT!!! Nigeria is not a country, just an association of pilfering individuals.

Definitely there is enough to go round, they just want to impoverished the masses.
