Kwara Governor To Petrol Hoarders : Get Ready To Lose Your Land Titles
Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) and governor of Kwara state , Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has urged oil marketers in the state to avoid imposing needless hardship on the citizens through the creation of artificial fuel scarcity in the State of Harmony and beyond.
It will be recalled that long queues had been reported at petrol stations in the country since yesterday following the statement made by President Bola Tinubu in his inaugural speech that ‘fuel subsidy is gone’.
‘The governor is seriously concerned about reports of sudden fuel scarcity in different parts of the state. This is totally uncalled for. He asks fuel marketers to immediately discharge fuel to the public under the normal pricing system since they had bought what they currently have at subsidized rates’ a Government House, Ilorin statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by Mr. Rafiu Ajakaye said on Tuesday morning.
‘Creating artificial scarcity amounts to intentional misrepresentation of the statement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on the question of fuel subsidy. The people should not be made to undergo any hardship.
The governor urges the marketers to desist from anything that qualifies as economic sabotage of the people. Hoarding fuel bought at subsidized price and creating panic in the state is opportunistic and will not be condoned. His Excellency, the Deputy Governor, Mr. Kayode Alabi will be leading a task force to ensure that no fuel marketer causes undue hardship to the residents and citizens of Kwara state.
Owners of fuel stations are to note that members of the Task Force will dip into their pits. Filling stations found to be hoarding fuel will have their Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) revoked, among other penalties’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com
