For its failure to arrest the lingering fuel scarcity, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), listed several indicators as showing that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration has failed its constitutional duty to guarantee the security and welfare of the people.
The PDP made this known in a statement issued by its publicity secretary, Debo Ologunagba, on Thursday, March 3.
