Labour Party has expressed serious concern over the
perennial fuel scarcity that had left the masses further impoverished.
According to the party, the crisis will only end
when goverment stops importation of petroleum products.
National Chairman of the party, Dan Nwanaywu told
hotfm that it doesn’t make any economic sense to spend trillions of naira on
funding importation when same could be used to fix refineries that will ensure
local refining.
The party
leader also accused the minister of finance and coordinating minister of the
economy Ngozi Okonjo Iweala of fueling the recent crisis by paying subsidy
claims to selected importers.
He further explained that he joined the call by CNPP
demanding release of all subsidy transactions because he believes there is more
than meets the eye.
While
describing Ngozi Okonjor- Iweala as a world bank agent who is only interested
in satisfying her pay masters, Nwanyawu called on President Goodluck Jonathan
to look into the matter in the interest of the masses.
