Fayose orders sale of Government House fuel to Ekiti people

The Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has ordered the sale of 80 per cent of the petrol in the Government House dump to the people of the State at N145 per litre.
Fayose said it will be inhuman to have fuel in the dump while the people of the state spend numerous hours on the queue to buy petrol for as high as N600.
In a series of tweets on his verified Twitter handle on Sunday, Fayose castigated the government of President Muhammadu Buhari for bringing hardship on the people.
Fayose tweeted on Sunday: “Today, under a govt that promised change, Nigerians cannot even celebrate Christmas and New Year in peace because of the fuel scarcity orchestrated by the Buhari’s government just to achieve its aim of hiking fuel price. Nigerians are now buying petrol for as high as N600.
“To reduce the hardship being faced by our people because of scarcity of fuel, I have directed that 80% of the petrol in the 60,000 litres capacity Govt House Fuel Dump be taken to a Petrol station in Ado Ekiti to be announced soon.
“It will be sold to the public at N145/litre.
“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 control price of N145. The maximum a single individual can buy will be 25 litres.
“This hardship is too much for Nigerians to bear at this time and it is obvious that the President does not have solution to the fuel scarcity.
People can no travel to meet their families because of the wickedness of this APC government.”
