According to Punch, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, while speaking with journalists last Saturday, asked Nigerians to hold the Peoples Democratic Party responsible for the ongoing fuel scarcity across the country. He further said the PDP destroyed Nigeria during its 16-year rule. In his words:
“We want to stay focused and redirect Nigeria. We want to reverse the decay of 16 years. We are hearing comments from the PDP left and right. We are saying we want to clear the mess they created. For 16 good years, the PDP destroyed the country. We should not be lamenting over petrol queues today if they had seen what was necessary and done what was necessary for this country.”
“We can’t be emotional and live in self-denial. They should have done the Awolowo Road and the Lagos/Ibadan Expressway. If they put priority on our railroad, if they put priority on electricity generation and distribution, we will not be in this mess today.”
