Irked by the activities of oil marketers following the announcement of oil subsidy by President Tinubu, the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has cautioned oil marketers to avoid imposing needless hardship on the citizens by creating artificial fuel scarcity across the nation.He said creating artificial scarcity amounts to an intentional misrepresentation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s statement on the question of fuel subsidy.AbdulRazaq, who is also the Governor of Kwara State, gave the warning on Tuesday in a statement expressing concern about reports of sudden fuel scarcity in different parts of the country.The statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Rafiau Ajakaye, said the development was uncalled for and urged fuel marketers to immediately discharge fuel to the public under the normal pricing system since they had bought what they have currently at subsidized rates.He also urged the marketers to desist from anything that qualifies as economic sabotage of the people and warned that hoarding fuel bought at a subsidized price and creating panic will not be condoned.Meanwhile, the Deputy of Kwara State, Mr. Kayode Alabi who will be leading a task force to ensure that no fuel marketer causes undue hardship to the citizens in Kwara State, vows to Certificate of Occupancy of any filling station found to be hoarding fuel among other penalties.Long queues
