APC Response to PDP's allegation that it is Responsible for the Fuel Scarcity

After allegations by the ruling party in Nigeria that the main opposition party is behind the fuel scarcity, the opposition party has come out to defend itself in a press statement yesterday. Below is the press statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the APC.

It is totally unconscionable, and indeed an admission of failure, for a sitting government and ruling party to blame the opposition for their failings. These guys have simply abdicated their responsibility to the people. ‎They can as well throw in the towel and head home.

The questions to ask are: who runs the NNPC? Who pays subsidy to fuel marketers? Who has used federal resources to bribe individuals and groups to such a level that there is no money to run the government, not to talk of paying subsidies?

The moment a ruling party starts transferring its responsibilities to the opposition, it is clear that the market is over, the party said in a statement issued in Dubai on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
