Fuel Scarcity: Tinubu sleeping whilst Nigeria is on fire — CUPP
Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has flayed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration over the current fuel scarcity nationwide, which it described as as artificially induced, declaring that the president is sleeping whilst the country is on fire and offering no solutions for the problems his regime had created for Nigerians.
CUPP expressed this concern on Monday in a release signed by its spokesperson, Comrade Mark Adebayo, a copy of which was made available to newsmen, and further described Tinubu’s administration as “a government run by a cabal of incompetent, unpatriotic and rapacious power cultists who can’t care less about the people’s suffering.”
This was just as the body further declared that it was now crystal clear that President Tinubu never prepared for the serious business of governance in the country, but just wanted to be president.
The coalition, while decrying the fuel scarcity currently ravaging the land, said it was artificially induced and a satanic ploy by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government “to further increase the pump prices of fuel which will further exacerbate the mass suffering of Nigerians.”
According to it, the Tinubu’s administration has no solutions for the problems it has created for Nigerians, saying that it had not been able to advance any reasonable argument for the persistent fuel scarcity in the country that has further worsened the already desperate economic situation of the country.
“The Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP, views the current artificially induced fuel scarcity nationwide as a satanic ploy by the failed APC government to further increase the pump prices of fuel which will further exacerbate the mass suffering of Nigerians.
“The government has not been able to advance any reasonable argument for the persistent fuel scarcity in the country that has further worsened the already desperate economic situation of the country. This government has no solutions for the problems it has created for Nigerians.
“We make bold to say that this is a government run by a cabal of incompetent, unpatriotic and rapacious power cultists who can’t care less about the people’s suffering, but focusing solely on feathering their own nests and feeding their insatiable greed and avarice at the expense of Nigerians,” the coalition.
Speaking further, CUPP said the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) owed Nigerians explanations as to the cause of its huge debt amounting to over N9trillion owing fuel suppliers who had now threatened to stop fuel supply to the country, noting sadly that “should the fuel scarcity get worse than this, the security situation of the country which is already very bad will even get worse, not to talk of the resultant economic meltdown and allied social crises.”
The coalition said the current administration behaved like a political undertaker to bury Nigeria as the primary purpose of seeking the highest office in the land, observing that President Tinubu and those in power with him “snored away as the country is on fire”.
“They are so clueless now that their incompetence has been exposed by the staccato of policy somersaults they apply to the crises that their mishandling of the country has caused.
“In all ramifications, the Tinubu administration has failed woefully and there is no magic they can perform to reverse their parlous records in the last fifteen months.
“It is now crystal clear that President Tinubu never prepared for the serious business of governance. He just wanted to be president,” CUPP concluded.
