– The fuel price increase is still a front-burner issue in Nigeria– Former minister of petroleum and energy, Prof Tam David-West has added his voice to the debate– David-West is one of the vocal supporters of President Muhammadu BuhariThedecision of the federal government to remove petroleum subsidiesthereby increasing the pump price of a litre of fuel has not gone down well with Professor Tam David-West.A vocal supporter of President Buhari, the former minister of petroleum and energy berated the Federal Government for increasing the price, saying it is nonsense and unjustifiable.Prof Tam David-WestSpeaking with Daily Sun yesterday, May 20, in Ibadan; the Oyo state capital, David-West stated that petrolcan be sold at N40 per litre in Nigeria.David-West had adopted the same stand before the 2015 general elections where he boasted that petrol will be sold for N40 per litre if Buhari was elected president.According to him, Petroleum Equalisation Fund (PEF), demurrage, charges by Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), jetty and depot charges, retailer’s margin on petroleum, transporter’s margin on petroleum, dealer’s margin on petroleum, smuggling across borders, storage and so on were some of the additional charges put on the price ofPMS. His words:“When I heard the minister of state for petroleum (Ibe Kachikwu), saying they smuggled ourpetrol across borders and that was the reason for the increase, it is nonsense. I used the word nonsensebecause during my time, we closed the borders. If I could do it, he could do it too; and it is the same head of state (Buhari).“We ensured there was no petrol station several kilometres to the borders. Government would not approve fuel station that is close to the borders. Another illogicality of that argument is if you sell petrol in Nigeria for N150 per litre, the peopleacross the borders are ready to pay N160; if you sell for N200, they are ready to pay N210. So, there will still be smuggling. So, increasing petrol price in Nigeria does not stop smuggling.”He noted further that“the fuel price increase is confusing. A government official said it is subsidy removal, which is not. Another one says smuggling, which is untenable. Foreign exchange (Forex) was also mentioned, which is partially tenable because the country’s foreign exchange has gone down drastically. So, it is so difficult now to source forex to import fuel.“If I am into managing of oil and foreign exchange goes down, why should a man on the street pay for it? No matter the reason, N145 per litre is not justified. If they removed all the unnecessary additions on the price of petroleum such as bridging or Petroleum Equalisation Fund, dealer’s margin, transporter’s margin, retailer’s margin, storage, depot margin, and NPA charges, petrol price will come down to N40 per litre.”He decried the confusion that has characterized the announcement of the policy, stating that the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie- Oyegun and Kachikwu said the hike in fuel price was necessitated by subsidy removal, but the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, said itwas because of foreign exchange.He said:“What they are doing is embarrassing to him. Buhari has saidit repeatedly that there is no subsidy.I stand by him that there is no subsidy as such. If you say you have come to remove subsidy, will you remove what does not exist?“Kachikwu, I don’t know him and I have never met him before; he is brilliant from his CV (Curriculum Vitae). I respect him for his CV. He has got a very beautiful CV. But sometimes, he says things that are, to me, outrageous.“A business man runs a business to make profit. Government should encourage businessmen to be in business by allowing them not to run at a loss. Government also has a responsibility to make sure that businessmen do not exploit the people.“Right now, we are interested more in businessmen making profit while they (government) turned their back to common man being exploited or suffering.” Meanwhile,the Vehicle Owners Association of Nigeria (VOAN) has condemned the decision by the federal governmentto remove the petroleum subsidy, in the face of socio-economic hardship being experienced in the country.The group also called for immediate reversal of the policy which it described as“obnoxious and anti-people”;even as it enjoined President Buhari to urgently summon a stakeholders meeting in other to find lasting solution to the energy crisis instead of resorting to piece-meal approach in solving the problem.

good day Mods, pls help me push this to the Front page let Abians and other south easterners be at red alert so that they wont say they weren't told . thanks |
OKEZIE IKPEAZU: YOU ARE SURROUNDED ALREADY, ALERT YOUR PEOPLE. Dear Governor Okezie,I am writing you this letter out of my love and concern for my people and birthplace, Abia state. I also want to appreciate the speed with which you rose to the occasion last time. I also thank you for taking urgent steps in preventing the loss of lives in the state. However, Dear Governor, the danger is not over but imminent and this is why I am undertaking to write you again.RED ALERT: RED ALERT!!! BOMB AND GUNS FOUND IN A LUXURIOUS BUS IN ABA. You did not announce the previous escapade at the Central mosque, Aba and this is very dangerous. Our people are sitting on a time bomb and they should be made aware of it. You will not want to wish "HAD I KNOWN" nor blame yourself eternally if the singular act of keeping mute cost lives. It is an established fact that on Friday night, some Hausa/Fulani were caught with 4 bags stocked with guns and bombs after boarding a luxurious bus for night journey at "Dan Dollas transport company park located at Milverton Aba. Because of the fear of the bomb exploding, people called the police and the Hausas were arrested as the police took away the bags of guns and the bomb. This information is verifiable. It is real! ALERT: RED ALERT!!! HAUSA/FULANI ARE READY TO ATTACK THE CITY OF ABA ANY MOMENT FROM NOWAnother information reaching us now is that; last night some Hausa-Fulani were on their way from Abuja to Aba in preparation to attack Aba. Right now they have landed in Aba. They have been offloaded at Aba park opposite FG Onyenwe beside First Bank. They are dispersing to various location. Do act quickly and save your people from vengeful destruction. We have never been same with these vampires. Why give them impunity in our land?They are definitely not from Libya. For how long will innocent blood be shed?Can Biafrans who stay in the north do what they are doing in our lands with impunity? Their governors are making life hard for our people over there and they still come here to discomfort us. Your excellency, do act immediately. Let all the mosques, be searched and closedupon discovery or they will turn our land to Borno etc. If that happens, God forbid, you will only have yourself to blame for ignoring this timely warning.GUNS GUNS GUNS: 5,000 AMMUNITIONS RECOVERED FROM HAUSA/FULANISIt will be recalled that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, warned of this invasion of Biafra land by the Hausa-Fulani over a year ago and was shouting his head off on Radio Biafra, but as the saying goes, "a prophet is worthless in his own land". You all said he is preaching hate. Now what Nnamdi Kanu saw a year ago, and went as far as informing the World Igbo Congress at Los Angeles California, USA is about happening before us. Can we say we were not informed? These people are carrying out a command issued by Othman Danfodio and reiterated by Sir Ahmadu Bello. We are blind deaf and dumb because we have no fathers or elders who can see beyond their noses. Now they and their generation are about to be wiped out of the face of the earth, and no one to inherit their all ill-gotten wealth. Okezie Ikeazu, will you still be stupid andfoolish to allow the uncircumcised Hausa-Fulani to wipe off your generation? What do you think 5,000 guns are doing in your state? Why the heavy influx of Hausa Fulanis into Aba? Why have you failed to raise the alarm with all the information and abundant evidence of an imminent attack of your state? Let me inform you that you are not left out of this annihilation plan, because the security you have is the one to assassinate you. If you like raise the alarm and do something, if you don't, keep quiet. When Hausa-Fulani take overAbia state, do you think you will continueto be governor?A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE MR. GOVERNOR.
