Femi Adesina has said the continued presence of long queues
at filling stations should not be an opportunity for some Nigerians to
criticize the Nigerian government.
The media aide to President Muhammadu Buhari stated this on
Tuesday during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily.
Adesina said this is the only major fuel scarcity since the
inception of the Buhari administration and should not be blown out of
proportion.
He said: “Each time this issue of the fuel scarcity comes
up, there is also a word that comes to my mind; that word is called SNAFU, and
it’s an acronym for Situation Normal All Filed Ups.
“What happened is a SNAFU in the petrol supply chain in the
country.
“In the life of this
administration which will be seven years in May, it is only one major fuel
scarcity we have had.
“Now, there is a SNAFU, and some people are crying out as if
heavens have fallen; no. We should always consider the past and the present in
this country. More than any other administration, this one (Buhari’s) has
restored normalcy in petroleum supply for years.
“It is regrettable that Nigerians have had to stay hours on
end at petrol stations. My driver also goes to queue up for hours before he
gets fuel. Some people have had their car engines damaged, very regrettable.
“But then, we should not forget that it is not a routine or
regular occurrence in the country and if there was an oversight, there is
already a structure that can deal with that and we have been told that it’s
going to be looked at.”
