PDP responsible for current fuel pump price increase, says APC.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has blamed the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its past governments for the current petrol price increase in the country.
The ruling party was reacting to the PDP’s statement where the opposition party criticised the Buhari administration for increasing the petrol price per litre and the electricity tariff in the country. The APC said successive PDP governments had foisted on the country a corruption-tainted fuel subsidy regime, which is now affecting the present government

Part of the statement signed by the party’s acting spokesman, Yekini Nabena, read: “We call on the PDP to surprise itself and indeed Nigerians by cajoling its cronies who ran the subsidy rackets — many of them in hiding abroad — to return our stolen commonwealth in their possession.
Under the President Muhammadu Buhari administration. The tortuous fuel queues as a result of biting scarcities are gone. The reviewed petroleum products pricing template has resulted in a more transparent, efficient and realistic pricing system for petroleum products and also resulted in constant availability of fuel nationwide.
The pricing template now reflects competitive and market-driven components which is supported by the citizenry. “Commendably, the federal government is already working to ensure that Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOs) commit to increasing the number of hours of electricity supply every day and also improve on their quality of service. “Perhaps the PDP is also unaware, that the current administration has approved a one-year waiver of import levy on electricity meters so that Nigerians who do not have meters can be supplied as early as possible at a reasonable cost.”
