FCT, Abuja - Bola Tinubu, the standard-bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has pointed a finger at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) saying the opposition party is sabotaging fuel supply in the country in order to blackmail the federal government for illicit political advantage.
Tinubu made the comment in Makurdi, the Benue state capital, to a multitude of party faithful who graced the presidential campaign rally.
He said the PDP administration gave fuel retail licenses to their supporters and sympathisers who are now hoarding fuel to create long queues across the country to make the APC-led government look incompetent.

“They met good oil prices for 16 good years, they didn't remember gas pipelines, they are what I called saboteurs yesterday. They gave PMS license to their supporters and sympathisers. They are the ones who started creating fake queues. PDP, enough is enough.”

“I am proud of what we accomplished in Lagos. I am so proud of it, I do not run off to live elsewhere. I live where my policies and programmes worked. Obi left Anambra because his policies and programmes failed.”
