Fuel scarcity: CAN urges Petroleum Minister to apologize or resign

Following the recent scandal of adulterated fuel and scarcity, the Kaduna State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has advised the Minister of Petroleum Resources to either apologise to Nigerians or honourably resign.

This was contained in a statement signed on Tuesday by the Vice-Chairman, CAN Northern States, Rev. John Joseph Hayab.

The statement faulted the negligence and incompetence of people holding public offices, noting that Nigerians should not continue to suffer because of this.

The statement, however, revealed that the Association was worried over the situation and would want to know who is responsible for the bad product and its scarcity.

He said despite the bad state of the nation presently, Nigerians are still made to go through the pains of having adulterated fuel in circulation and scarcity, which have further increased the hardship Nigerians are going through for about a month now.

“Were compelled to ask our Minister of Petroleum, what he and the ministry have done to avert and remedy this situation?” he asked.

The statement said Nigerian citizens are considered to be the most patient people on earth because they have been enduring bad governance, poor service delivery which has led to deaths that could have been avoided by many family members, friends, and associates.

It stressed that Nigerians are battling insecurity, poverty and now fuel crisis while nobody has ever been held responsible for all the pains, sufferings and poor services.
