Nigeria: Afenifere Wants End to Fuel Scarcity

The Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, has called for an immediate end to the current fuel shortage in the country. In a statement, the national secretary of the group, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, expressed regret that the “interest of the sixth largest oil producer in the world are consistently being subjected to severe hardship as a result of mismanagement of the oil sector by the ruling elite.”

“Only this morning (yesterday) was a pipeline explosion in Abule Egba area of Lagos in which hundreds of lives were reportedly loss. The blood of the victims of this tragedy would definitely be on the necks of those who are responsible for the sorry situation we have found ourselves in as a country, which has forced people to be scooping fuel from the pipelines.
