Buhari Must Quit As Petroleum Minister – PDP
The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to hand over his position as Minister of Petroleum to a ”competent” person.
The party alleged on Sunday that the sector is being controlled by cabals.
PDP said Buhari must “quit this all-important ministry of petroleum resources and allow competent hands to save our people from the anguish and pains they have been subjected to in the last few months.”
A statement by the party added that the ruling All Progressives Congress “is busy dishing out lies and fabricated indices in an attempt to give Nigerians false hope on issues related to the fuel crisis and the collapsing national economy.”
In addition, the statement read that, “It is an appalling height of insensitivity that the President, as the Minister of Petroleum Resources, has failed to take any decisive steps to arrest the situation, which has remained unabated since the last Yuletide.
“Rather, the sector has been delivered to an APC cabal, whose mission, particularly, the desperate re-election bid, largely account for the biting fuel situation and the economic misery Nigerians suffer today.”
