The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has debunked allegation that it was responsible for the current fuel scarcity in the country.
The national operations controller, Mr Mike Osatuyi, said a statement to that effect was credited to Mr. Lawson Ngoa, who he described as an agent of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources brought in to mediate in the internal crisis of the association.
“While the intervention of the minister of state for petroleum, Dr.
Ibe Kachikwu, in resolving the internal crisis in IPMAN is
appreciated and commendable, the forefathers, past presidents,
leaders of IPMAN and the general members of IPMAN nationwide
will not allow Mr. Lawson Ngoa, who is not a marketer or an
IPMAN member, to use IPMAN’s name as a shield to defend or
protect a system failure of the NNPC.
“It is pure defamation of IPMAN name to go on air that IPMAN has
accepted the responsibility for the scarcity of petroleum products
and that Nigerians should hold IPMAN responsible for the scarcity.”
Recall that the minister of state for petroleum resources, Mr Ibe
Kachikwu said queues would disappear from filling stations in
Abuja and Lagos by today, April 6.
But latest development has shown that the fuel queues will
continue into the weekend.
Although two new vessels, Mt. Mersk Kalea and Mt, Alizea, carring
21 million metric tonnes of petrol berthed at the Apapa jetty, a
Punch newspaper report said ofloading and distribution will take another 3 or 4 days.
“But discharge had not started because they have to determine
those to get the product and they have to do all the formal
documentation. There is still documentation for naval clearance;
there is documentation for the DPR clearance; the DPR will also go on board since it is an imported vessel.
“They cannot start to discharge now. The earliest time they can do
that is probably tomorrow (Wednesday) night or Thursday
morning. Because of the subsidy component, the Petroleum
Products Pricing Regulatory Agency will want to see whether it is in line with the approval given.
“So, those are the things that will actually delay the discharge of
the vessels. It should take a minimum of two days. So, people
may not feel any vessel is discharging until the weekend. Thelogistic issue is now the problem,” the source, who is an official of an independent marketer said.

Well, I pray that he rot in custody. Pls don't release him. We have got to stop Iranian influence in this country. The Muslims in this country are overwhelming Sunni. And off course Saudi Arabia are on our side. We don't need Iran, Iraq, Lebanon to be on our side. Nobody can change this simple fact that Nigeria is a country built on Alhul Sunna. We will continue to protect our country from evil Shia ideology and it culture

You meet over $20billion in a pot, after 5 years of high income, you leave $2.5 billion in the pot. How is that savings?.... Abi una dey save backwards for ur village?

obailala:
We are talking of the ability of the FG to save not states, all the states were irresponsible from PDP to APC and the FG was most irresponsible because it even received the giant share of over 50%. Meanwhile the buffoons you support in PDP wakes up in 2016 and claims Amaechi was the one that prevented a PDP led FG from saving money. How much dumber could an excuse possibly be?.. Tufia!

Like I said earlier, even when you count out the PDP governors who later switched to APC, there were still much more PDP governors in the governors' forum.

If the PDP governors as you claim were not in support of sharing the money, kindly tell the house why the PDP governors also collected their share?.... Also kindly tell us why they didnt save their share when they received it?..... Finally, kindly tell us why the PDP FG couldnt save its own lion share which amounted to over 50% of the total funds?

No offence but this has to be the lamest excuse or the lamest attempt at shifting blame since this political dispensation. I wasn't expecting anyone to try and defend this.

Apart from being useless, this APC Administration is not just confused, it is also confusing.
That's what you get when a lawyer is the Minister of 3 very technical Ministries (Power, Works and Housing) and the President of the country a stark illiterate and junketing philanderer .

I have never seen an irresponsible government like this one in any democracy .
In the wake of recent attacks in Brussels , The Belgium Senior government officials promptly tendered resignation to the leader and took responsibility for their failure .
Tinubu was quoted recently as saying that PDP was responsible for the current fuel scarcity .
What a shame to the government that will never take responsibility for anything .

obailala:
As at the time the governors asked for their share of the ECA funds, how many of those governors were opposition?.... Even when you count out the PDP governors who later switched to APC, we still had over 20 PDP governors in the governors' forum now someone who thinks he's talking to kids is saying APC prevented PDP from saving?

By the way, the entire 36 states and 774 LGAs only took 45% of the entire ECA funds, so please kindly tell us why the FG did not save its own 55% amounting to over $11bn?.... I would assume the APC governors also used a strong juju spell to charm the PDP FG into squandering the savings right?

The bunch of PDP buffoons should understand that not all Nigerians are silly.

ahaika23:
Thief Amaechi and co plundered Nigeria this way. What does he get, a ministerial position and then you say Buhari is not a northern goat?

Goke7:
Lame excuses

sage2:
I just bought Nutri-C for N40. Where is Nigeria headed?

eyeview:
Tinubu should gather some 'balls' and tell the Minister of Petroleum himself to apologise. Why jump the minister to attack the minister of state.
Though we all know that Tinubu's new found attack on kachukwu is because of an appointment of a candidate outside his cabal's control. We are not fooled.

Your barking like Bingo cannot help you because even if your hire graduate with Aba-made-certificate to summarize it for you, both of you will still miss the road.

This article is beyond your comprehension: it is meant for people blessed with deeper mental horizon.

If saudi stops flooding the market with oil, it's only going to get worse for Nigerians looking for fuel lol

This is very STUPID
Go and ask people who know the industry. It was under Dieziani that no extra barrels were added to Nigeria's oil and gas reserves. Exploratory activities dropped and they were not even paying joint venture partners.

On the downstream side
They did not build new refineries in spite of all the oil money Nigeria was making. The woman herself knew nothing about the industry. She is an architect who worked in community relations in Shell. A lot of you are very very ignorant.

On the retail side.
The only interest this woman had was importing petrol and diesel through a few marketers and doing sharp practices. In all her interviews her main claim to fame was that there were very few petrol queues in her tenure... LOL. Few petrol queues of an imported product that we should be producing for the local market and exporting. Very big disgrace.

Simple common sense dictates that the current problem a country faces is usually the result of bad things done in the past. So why are people being cowardly in saying the truth about this bad woman?.
It is not all negative for Nigeria. Nigeria currently has more trained manpower globally than all the other third world countries except India and Iran but this is not Buhari's achievement but the result of things we did right as a people. Nigerians suffered a great deal to train their children so we are enjoying the 21 billion dollars that these people working abroad post home. In the same way your current power and fuel problems are due to the mis management of PDP ..face the fact and accept it.
The past determines the present so PDP is to blame...very simple.
