Tinubu Blames PDP For Fuel Scarcity, Tags Them Poverty Development Party

Bola Tinubu,the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), has blamed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which he described as Poverty Development Party, for the fuel scarcity being experienced in majority of states in the country.

Tinubu while speaking at a presidential campaign rally in Makurdi, Benue State on Thursday, accused the PDP of licensing petroleum products to themselves when they were in power and has now increased the prices thereby creating queues.

According to Tinubu, the fuel scarcity is PDP’s strategy to blackmail the Federal Government.

In his words;

“We are not the same thing as the poverty development party. They developed poverty, they met good account. For 16 years they did not remember our gas pipelines,” 

“They are what I called yesterday, the saboteurs. They issued PMS and petroleum products licenses to themselves, to their supporters, and to their sympathisers. They changed the course and they started creating queues. They started blackmailing the government. We are saying PDP, enough is enough.”

Recall that Tinubu on Wednesday in Ogun State said the fuel scarcity and redesigned naira notes are all targeted at sabotaging the 2023 election. READ HERE
