Recurrent fuel scarcity shameful, ADP tells APC

ADP to APC: Find solution to fuel queues or…
By Bode OlagoThe Action Democratic Party (ADP) has advised the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to find lasting solutions to recurring incidence of fuel scarcity bedeviling the country or bury its head in shame.
ADP National Chairman Engr. Yabagi Sani, in a statement by his director of media and publicity Kayode Jacob,  yesterday in Abuja, said it is a shame thing that the current government is still faced with the option of having to approve increment in pump price or pay subsidy.
“One of the major reasons Nigerians trusted their destinies in the hands of President Buhari was the boast on having solutions to rampant fuel crises and subsidy regime but only two years after the queues are back and government remains helpless with evidence that nothing concrete had been done to permanently solve the problem.
The ADP chairman, who carpeted the Vice President for saying the fuel crisis is shameful and that NNPC and not government is paying subsidy at this time, wondered whether NNPC is different from government.
“Who is responsible for the shameful handling of the fuel crisis and on whose behalf is NNPC doing business? He queried.
“I think the government should be responsible enough to admit its failures and frustrations instead of giving excuses on the past and pointing fingers at the opposition, he argued.
We at the ADP indeed sympathize with Nigerians who had to go through untold hardship to rejoin their families at Christmas; he lamented.
“It is our hope that the APC government will apologize and proffer solutions in the 13 months remaining before the curtain is drawn on their tenure.”
