Oshiomhole: I Paid ₦‎1,000 For A Litre, Laments Fuel Scarcity And Price by Naijalarry: 12:42am On Feb 06, 2023

A former Edo State Governor Adams Oshiohmole has lamented the scarcity of fuel and the hike in the pump price of the product, claiming he recently paid N1,000 for a litre. 

In several parts of Nigeria, queues have resurfaced in filling stations with many buying the product for as much as N500 and above for a litre.

It, however, appears the masses are not the only ones affected by the crisis as the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain said he recently bought the product at an exorbitant price during one of his campaign tours.

“On one occasion, I ran out of fuel and I had to pay N1,000 for a litre. Now, that is not funny! Somebody is responsible for that,” he said when he featured on Channels Television’s election programme The 2023 Verdict on Sunday.

A ‘Perennial Problem’

The former national chairman of the APC said in spite of the huge resources Nigeria spends on payment of fuel subsidy, the product is still scarce and the price is beyond the reach of most Nigerians.

“As we speak, we are spending almost N7 trillion. The minister of finance spoke to the fact that we are spending about N7 trillion for fuel subsidy and yet most Nigerians found themselves paying much more than what the market rate would be and yet we have the Petroleum Equalisation Fund,” Oshiomhole added. “So, people are responsible for this.”

He said fuel scarcity is not peculiar to President Muhammadu Buhari’s government, describing the development as a “perennial problem”.

“But that does not make it acceptable,” he said.

Oshiomhole, who equally spoke about the naira note redesign and swap policy, described them as deceptive and a ploy to truncate the elections.

“You could see that the intention of the Bank is not to eliminate abuses but to stop the elections from taking place,” he said.

APC campaigning as if they are opposition party. Tone down the criticism, it’s your party that is still in power. Also stop making it sound like you care about the masses. According to you it has been a perennial problem yet you just found your voice in 2023

When did Adams Oshiomole start lamenting? This fool is always wearing his sanctimonious Labour union khaki of yesterday to continue to deceive the gullible electorates that allowed themselves to be deceived.

This is what you get when they don see you finish, but this is an insult on our collective intelligence, is this one telling us now that he is one of us, the only reason this things are bold enough to be saying this rubish is because of a certain set of people, if people who claim to be educated will not come out to promote someone who fostered buhari on nigeria and told you a few days ago that he will start from where buhari stopped, how will they have the guts to be this bold?

From what I can deduce from his speech, his stylishly telling Nigerians that fuel will be sold for 1k in this failed government of APC.

If you fail to elect good leaders in Nigeria, the consequences will be dire.

Whatever you do on 25th will not just affect your life but that of your kids. If you thinking you want to spite a particular group or candidate, just remember you will also be at the receiving end of it all.

Vote wisely
