chapter, has said Nigerians, especially Lagosians, will
not forget in a hurry that their first Christmas under the
All Progressives Congress-led federal government was
ruined by biting fuel scarcity.
The Publicity Secretary of Lagos PDP, Mr. Taofik Gani,
said this during an interview yesterday.
Gani recalled that in his Christmas message last year,
President Muhammadu Buhari, who was the presidential
candidate of the APC at the time, promised Nigerians
that 2014 would be their last Christmas in darkness.
The PDP spokesman, however, said since Buhari took
over nearly seven months ago, the living condition of
Nigerians had deteriorated.
He said, “The first Christmas that Nigerians, especially
Lagosians, will mark under the APC will go down in
history as one of the worst due to the worsening fuel
scarcity. The electricity supply which President Buhari
promised last year has not come to pass and those who
want to use generators cannot make use of generators
as filling stations are not dispensing fuel in jerry cans”.
The Lagos PDP publicity secretary also berated the
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, for blaming former President Goodluck
Jonathan for the fuel scarcity.
Mohammed, while addressing journalists on the
lingering fuel scarcity shortly after the emergency
Federal Executive Council meeting last Monday, said
that Nigerians “are paying for the past administration’s
sins”.
Gani, however, said, “Nigerians know that it is not true
that Jonathan is the reason why everything has gone
worse under Buhari. The APC has the tendency to claim
Jonathan’s achievements but blame him for its
inefficiencies.
“A few weeks after President Buhari assumed power, he
took credit for the improvement in the power sector,
saying that his body language had evoked change when
everyone knew that it was Jonathan’s achievement.
“Now that Nigerians are groaning, the APC is blaming
Jonathan. You cannot have your cake and eat it”.
