A public commentator, Ahmed Bakare in Zamfara state attributed the fuel scarcity experienced in the state as artificial, alleging that the government is involved in the situation.
Bakare stated that most of the filling stations in the country are owned by the people in the corridors of power, adding that the federal government has woefully failed in its fight against monumental corruption in the country.
He alleged that corruption has become legalized in disguise as government claimed to be championing anti-corruption and is the same brain behind the corruption in the country.
“The government cannot claim of any ignorance of the scarcity of fuel rocking almost all the states of the federation because they have regulatory bodies that can stop the hoarding of fuel for just selfish interest,
“The Zamfara State situation has gone out of control as most motorcycle riders and owners have stopped their commercial businesses due to the hike in fuel prices.
“I have always been saying it that no individual in the whole world is above the power of the government unless the government in power does not want to act.
“Both the Hausa, Fulani, Igbo, Yoruba and other tribes have the same tribe, same religion, and the same ethnicity when it comes to cheating the common masses but when one of them is short paid, the person would gather his people and instigate them through religion, tribe, and ethnicity for selfish interest.
“Nigeria can only be free if all the common masses would join cooperate and stone all these corrupt leaders who have placed the country in the position it found its self-irrespective of tribe ethnicity and religion”
He said he can challenge any of the government officials to pinpoint the public schools their children attend, stressing that some don’t even have their children schooling in Nigeria but overseas.
“That is the very main reason why the governments neglect public schools because their children are not schooling there. I challenge them to send their children to public schools and see if the public schools would not be the best because their children are there”
“If the founders of Nigeria could germinate from their graves and witness what is happening in the country they founded and left behind, they would be filled with surprises”
