Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State on Friday called for the immediate resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari over his nonchalant attitude towards ending fuel scarcity in the country.
The governor, who reiterated his position that the Federal Government was punishing Nigerians with fuel scarcity so as to achieve its planned increment of petrol pump price from N145 to not less than N185 per litre.
In a statement release issued on Friday, Fayose’s Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said; “It is sad that this Buhari’s APC government had to choose this Christmas and New Year period to ground Nigeria with the fuel scarcity that it deliberately orchestrated.
“It is obvious that the President has failed in all ramifications and he needs to do Nigerians a favour by relinquishing the portfolio of minister of petroleum.
“Like I said a few days ago, what the federal government is doing is to create scarcity so that Nigerians will be willing to buy at any price, provided the product is made available.
“It was to achieve this planned increment of petrol pump price that they restricted supply of petrol to NNPC alone.”
