Former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has alleged that the current fuel crisis in the country was introduced to stifle Nigerians planning protest on August 1.
Sowore in a post on his X
handle on Monday also accused mobile telecommunication companies of
deliberately targeting Nigerians to slow down their ability to communicate and
mobilize.
According to him, Nigerians
were more than ever determined to end bad governance in Nigeria.
He said: “FUEL CRISIS has been
introduced to stifle Nigerias planning #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria
TELCOS – @MTNNG @GloWorld
@AirtelNigeria are deliberately targeting Nigerians to slow down their ability
to communicate and mobilize.
Nigerians are determined more
than ever to #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria during the #DaysOfRage
#Nogoingback #RevolutionNow.”
HERALDVIEWS gathers that depots
for Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, popularly called petrol, are currently dry,
leading to fuel scarcity and attendant queues in major states across the
country.
Black marketers have taken
advantage of the situation, with some selling as high as N1,300 per litre and
N1,500 per litre in Enugu, Lagos and Ogun states.
The development is coming on
the heels of the plan by some Nigerians who are mobilising for nationwide
protest slated for August 1 to August 10, 2024.
The organisers of the protest
have lamented about widespread hunger and inflation in the country.
