The All
Progressives Congress (APC) has appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the
Federal Government on the current fuel crisis in the country.
A statement issued by Bolaji Abudullahi, the
party’s spokesperson on Saturday, said the APC-led Federal Government was
making efforts to address the situation.
“We empathise with Nigerians at this difficult
time and appeal for patience with the Federal Government as it make efforts to
improve the situation,” he said.
He added that government was making efforts to
find lasting solution to the problem that had bedeviled every administration in
the country.
“Our party acknowledges the difficulties
Nigerians are currently experiencing as a result of the unfortunate fuel
scarcity across the country; especially at this yuletide period.
“We understand that the Federal Government is
doing everything to improve the situation and bring succor to the people as
soon as possible,” he said.
The party had earlier downplayed the fuel
crisis, saying on Friday there was “no real scarcity”.
Mr. Abdullahi said the APC also understood the unhappiness
of Nigerians at the situation, which he noted was happening for the first time
in the Christmas period since its administration came to power.
He further said while the APC accepted the
choice of the opposition PDP to make “political gains” out of the development,
it condemned its desperation to make the APC-led government look bad.
This, Mr. Abudullahi said, the PDP was doing by
maliciously fabricating and circulating fictitious statements in the names of
government and APC officials.
According to him, the PDP had continued to
attack the APC on the basis of such fabricated statements, saying, “this is bad
politics”.
