Borno State Governor and Chairman, Northern Governors’ Forum, Alhaji Kashim Shettima has said that the fuel scarcity being experienced in the country at the moment will end in a couple of weeks, stating that President Muhammadu Buhari has set genuine machinery in place to put things right.
Alhaji Shettima spoke in Owerri, Imo State on Sunday while answering questions from journalists when he visited Governor Rochas Okorocha with the governors of Niger State, Alhaji Abubakar Sanni Bello, and Jigawa State, Alhaji Badaru Abubakar Monmni, stressing that “the hiccups faced by the nation at the moment is expected as the APC government is in the process of rebuilding the nation from the plundered state it was left by the PDP.
“When the PDP was misruling the country oil was hovering around $140 per barrel. The price has now plummeted to less than $40 per barrel. It is to the credit of President Buhari that the nation is still moving despite the decline in revenue. If the PDP was to continue in power, the nation would have disintegrated”.
He continued: “The integrity of the president has earned Nigeria respect in the global community as corruption has reduced drastically and impunity is a thing of the past now. Nigerians should give Buhari the benefit of doubt because he has shown sincerity in his desire to build the Nigeria of our collective dreams and aspirations”.
