This is a post written by Audu Bulama Bukarti and he writes about the lingering fuel scarcity that is lingering in the nation. According to him, this is not the change the APC led govt promised us. Read more below..

I am currently at a filling station at BUK road in Kano. My car is the 70th on the queue. This means if it will take only 3 minutes to fuel every car, I will take about 3 and a half hours to get fuel. That’s all things been equal.

I can vividly remember that when the PMB-led APC government hiked PMS price from N87 to N145 per liter without prior notice, it promised us that that would be the end of fuel scarcity in the country. They said the price will crash in six months.

When there was minimal scarcity last December, hailers took to the social media with headlines like “The First December without Fuel Queues”, “Fuel Scarcity is now History”, “The Change has Come”.

Today, we are back to yesterday. we have to queue for several hours to fuel our cars. This is a text definition of the PDD days. The only difference is that we have to pay almost DOUBLE the PDP price we resisted with the last atom of our energy. This is the change they promised, I think.

The Big and Little Ministers for Petroleum have pretended ignorance of the current situation of things with us. Hailers have buried themselves in the sand of shame. They may be awaiting the slightest opportunity to yet again Jonathan for this one too as if that is what we voted them for.

It appears obvious to me that the Change Government has scammed us yet again. We shall, however, continue to struggle until we get it right as a country. So Help Us, God!

If Buhari did not win the last election and become president, some people somewhere would have been thinking that there was one man of "integrity" out there who would have solved Nigeria's problems. At the end of the day,the suppose"integrity" man seems to be the worst of them all.

Hahaha... wetin concern PDP convention with fuel biko?

enlady:
I am disappointed at all so called activists that called for mass protests in January 2012. All of them have gone deaf and dumb now. How can we queue for fuel at N87 and also queue at N145? This is not the change Buhari and his cohorts promised Nigerians.

juman:
nigeria is a country whereby yesterday always better than today.

9jakohai:
There is no scam.

Just Nigerians refusal to face reality.

The truth is, most Nigerians don't want to pay high for fuel. They want govt to subsidize fuel...

Which is what PMB is doing. All this 145 naira is partial removal of subsidy. It is the same thing GEJ, and OBJ and Co have done.

Meanwhile, cost of importing fuel is 142 per liter. We import 50million liters of PMS daily, and produce less than 18 million PMS daily at home.

Oil price has fallen, from 120 in 2013 to 64 today, and somehow Nigerians expect govt to find money to knock down fuel to 97naira per liter.

Even when oil was high, we wasted billions subsidize fuel, that we could have used to do things like increase refining capacity at home. (See why GEJ could not build refineries).

Nigerians should stop deceiving themselves and embrace deregulation. Yes, fuel will cost 200 per liter initially. Yes, poor people will suffer. But investors will come, and eventually, due to competition, prices will fall.

Time we stopped deceiving ourselves. Oil subsidy must go. So that we can have money forbetter things.

Remember again there is no scarcity its simply marketers and trailer drivers trying to rip the Nigerians off.

Almost 70% of the activists were from the area where the sun sets while the remaining are from the North...they were the ones who formed an alliance to vote out GEJ and vote in this retarded government. We are all in it together!

APCCCCCCCC: CHHHHHAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNGGGGGGEEEEEEEEE!

SAI BABA!!

Ask PDP your brother that is sabotaging the economy so that they can give Nigerians reasons to come back and continue looting the nation's treasury. But they will all fail...as the Lord lives

princejenks:
stop making excuses for this inept government,they are completely bereft of ideas but filled with lies and propaganda. On top of all of that,they are not proactive,they are waiting for dangote's refinery to be completed in 2019 before we can have sufficient refining capacity and end fuel importation,ask yourself if this is a serious government at all

Nbote:


Why do some of u lack basic and common sense?? Is fuel being sold for 97 or 87?? Dis govt claimed it had removed subsidy and pegged price at 145. So who exactly is to blame?
