To reduce the effects of the current fuel scarcity in Ekiti State, the State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has directed that 80 percent of the petrol in the Government Fuel Dump released to two petrol stations in Ado Ekiti, to be sold to the public at the control price of N145 per litre.
The governor, who made this known through his verified Twitter Handle said “The maximum a single individual can buy will be 25 litres.”
He said; “I cannot be keeping fuel in the govt house dump while our people keep suffering.
“I have asked them to pump out 80% of the petrol in the Govt House Fuel Dump to be sold at the control price of N145.
“I am going to town to locate the two petrol stations where the petrol will be sold.”
The governor lamented the hardship being faced by Nigerians as a result of the petrol scarcity.
He said “the APC led federal government has turned the joy of Nigerians to groaning. People can not travel to meet their families because of the wickedness of this APC government.
“This hardship is too much for Nigerians to bear at this time and it is obvious that President Muhammadu Buhari does not have solution to the fuel scarcity.”
Fayose’s Leadership Example
Leadership is compassion, not politucking; it’s not rocket science. Ayo Fayose has eloquently demonstrated, through this publicized gesture, that he is a people’s leader. Hate his guts, or love him, for now, he has no rival in government.
‘Thank you, your excellency,’ for this show of empathy for your people. Our prayer is that this current hardship will also pass away, perhaps with the wicked leaders in the land. Our people, the hapless citizens of this country, and the few good leaders like Fayose, will remain.
