Experts, others blame Buhari’s holding petroleum ministry for fuel scarcity

Civil society groups, industry experts and other Nigerians have condemned President Muhammadu Buhari’s role as Minister of Petroleum Resources due to his alleged failure to proffer a lasting solution to the nation’s lingering fuel crisis.

Speaking to The Guardian in Abuja yesterday, they insisted that the development had made life and business operations unbearable for most Nigerians.

They alleged that in-transparency and unaccountability had further backed the President’s laspe to deliver on his campaign promises.

Cofounder of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Mike Loyibo, said Buhari had shown incompetence irrespective of his preference at the polls.
