The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APCPCC) has called on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led Federal Government to stop stealing from Nigerians and allow them to enjoy the relief that has come to consumers of petroleum products globally.

A statement from the Directorate of Media and Publicity of the party’s presidential campaign said it was disturbing that in spite of the fall in the global price of crude oil, Nigerians still buy petroleum products at pump prices as if the global price of crude oil had remained at $100 (USD) per barrel.

“The price of diesel which has been deregulated since 2009 still sells at the pump price of N150 and N170 per litre, the same pump price when the international benchmark per barrel of crude was over $100,” it said, calculating that Nigerians are being short-changed by about N50 to N70 on every litre of diesel sold by government. “Now that the international benchmark has dropped to $47.5 (USD) per barrel as at Monday, we ask: where is the deregulation and the relief which it ought to bring to local consumers of diesel?”

The Presidential Campaign Council drew attention to such African countries as South Africa, Zambia, Tanzania and Kenya where governments have cut the pump prices of petroleum products to reflect the changes in the global oil market, and questioned why Nigeria has not done the same. It described anything short of that as a fraud that Nigerians should take note of.

"As for PMS (petrol) the only product the government agrees as regulated at N97 per litre, the irony is that it does not even cost much as in the United States, a country that was importing oil from Nigeria until recently,” the statement said.

The APC campaign further pointed out that even the current federal budget is still heavy on subsidy, with an allocation of N458.68 billion, a scheme that, it stressed, has become a conduit pipe over the years for which the children of ruling party leaders have been feeding.


70 on every litre of diesel sold by government.


“The implication of this is that with average consumption of about 12 to 15 million litres, Nigerians are currently extorted of amounts between N600 Million to N1 Billion daily due to corruption-induced poor regulatory oversight of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources. No wonder some few industry players are smiling to the banks and buying private jets while small scale industrialists who buy diesel on daily basis for power generation and transportation find it difficult to break-even with their businesses.


“Similarly on Kerosene, information available on the website of the PPPRA puts the Open Market Price at N114.71 per litre although the market price is anything above N150 per litre when the global price for a barrel of crude oil was $65 (USD). Now that international price of crude is at $47.5 (USD) per barrel, why are Nigerians still buying kerosene per litre at the same price? Why are Nigerians not benefitting from the global shortfall in the prices of crude by having a cut in the pump prices of petroleum products?


“We are aware that there are examples in other African countries where governments have cut the pump prices of petroleum products to reflect the changes in the global oil market. Countries like South Africa, Zambia, Tanzania and Kenya have announced cuts in pump prices of petroleum products, why can’t the Nigerian government do same?


“Given the failure of government to do the right thing by announcing a cut in the pump prices of these products, we are compelled to draw the conclusion that the federal government is short-changing Nigerians ostensibly to fund the campaign of the PDP presidential candidate.


“The APC Presidential Campaign challenges the federal government to make explanations on why Nigerians cannot benefit pricing reliefs on petroleum products as occasioned by the fall in the global price of crude oil. Anything should of this is a fraud and Nigerians should take note.


"As for PMS (petrol) the only product the government agrees as regulated at N97 per litre, the irony is that it does not even cost much as in the United States, a country that was importing oil from Nigeria until recently.


"Moreover, even the current budget is still heavy on subsidy with an allocation of N458.68 billion, a scheme that has become a conduit pipe over the years for which the children of ruling party leaders have been feeding. http://saharareporters.com/2015/01/12/stop-stealing-nigerians-buhari-tells-pdp

Ewu. Don't forget that Jonathan was unable to distinguish between January 13th and February 13th. He made a tribute to Murtala Mohammed stating that today marks the 29th Anniversary of his death when it's obvious that he died on February 13th, not January 13th. When the clueless President discovered his blunder, he quickly deleted the thread. Can we now call him an illiterate for that?! Hogwash!

BTW, if you want to know what it means to forget the name of one's Running-mate, then meet Willie Obiano. Buhari couldn't pronounce his name, not that he forgot it. Willie Obiano of Anambra State practically forgot the name of his Running-mate during the 2013 Governorship Electioneering Campaign!

Is it also a mistake in his speech to unveil his VP he said Prof. Osinbajo is a man of impeachable integrity? Or is it also a mistake that he cannot remember his Phone no? Yeye dey smell. GEJ till APC stop sentiments

Politician Buhari should shut up! He is becoming irritating. With prices swing here and there, how easy does he think it is to take a reasonable decision? Does he want the govt to take one decision today and change it tomorrow? I know Buhari is an opposition but he shouldn't be firing blank as if his brain is no longer normal. Even the National Assembly has not fixed a bench mark for oil yet for this years budget because of the uncertainty of oil price or does he think the NASS is full of Ideeots?

Meanwhile, Buhari should drop all his integrity shiit. The governors are looting state funds to sponsor his campaign yet he has not said anything bad about that. I always tell people that military Buhari is a complete opposite of the politician Buhari because politician Buhari does not see acts of corruption favourable to him as corruption. He has joined the looters.

Last Bullet: Buhari should know that his lie about his academic certificate is still kept in view.

Stop being silly Mr man. If you don't know the difference between 'impeccable' and 'impeachable' then keep your mouth shut. I can see you are as clueless as Jonathan. BTW, who's being sentimental?! If you have nothing meaningful to post, then switch off your phone or system and have a rest!
