The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP)
Thursday issued a seven-day ultimatum to the
Ministry of Petroleum Resources to end fuel
queues cross the country.
CNPP warned that at the end of the ultimatum, it
will mobilize the organized labour, civil society
groups and the masses to occupy the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) until the
minister and minister of state resign.
This was contained in a statement jointly issued in
Abuja by its National Chairman, Alhaji Balarabe
Musa, who was the Second Republic Governor of
old Kaduna State and the Secretary General,
Chief Willy Ezugwu.
The group maintained that: “Both the Minister
and Minister of State for Petroleum Resources
have shown a track record of undeniable and
monumental ineptitude in resolving the problems
associated with Fuel Scarcity in the last 11
months.
“While the Minister of State for Petroleum
Resources and Group Managing Director, Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Ibe
Kachikwu has kept double talking on the issue,
the Minister and President Muhammadu Buhari on
his part has maintained relative silence.
“About seven months ago, Kachikwu had
confessed: “Personally, I will have chosen to sell
the refineries, but President Buhari has instructed
that they should be fixed.
“After they are fixed, if they still operate below 60
per cent, then we will know what to do.’
“A 90-day presidential ultimatum for the refineries
to be fixed ended in December and the deadline
was not met.
“In the same vein, the government set April 7
deadline to end the fuel queues being
experienced across the country, again, the
deadline was not meet.
“After blaming some people who rather than sell
products send them into hinterlands where they
can sell at ridiculous prices to make quick returns
on their investments wrongly, the Ministry few
days ago blamed the scarcity on 30% of supply
allegedly diverted outside Nigeria.
“The government should be reminded that it has
all the security apparatus and personnel to tract
the saboteurs and bring them to justice.
“Enough of all the blame games and lack of will to
tell Nigerians the truth about the lingering fuel
scarcity. If by the end of seven days, and the
situation is not addressed, the CNPP shall have no
choice but to lead the organized labour, coalition
of civil society groups and the Nigerian masses to
occupy NNPC until the minister and minister of
state resign their positions in the Ministry,” the
statement added.

With the way the government shodilly approached the subsidy issue, Buhari and Nigerians, yours truly inclusive, will have to learn the hard way that the queues are here to stay.

A big pity, the same fuel they said was diverted by diezani and co, paying for subsidies in fuel that was not delivered, is the same issue of diversion the Buhari's NNPC is today complaining about even with the subsidy paid by FG to NNPC for the product.

Protests ca take place but sadly how does protest want to provide the supply necessary to meet demand.

Who dem epp?

I swear, i didn't read dis bullshyt. **opens the 8th bottle of beer**

why not organize a national protest or are u ppl afraid of buhari. that's d beauty of democracy

Ibe Kachikwu and Fake Prophets share something in common. He's a master craft of lies, a false soothsayer and a con artist.

Never believe anything he says for his promises are bound to fail.
