Lai Mohammed Blamed Current Fuel Crisis On Jonathan

The federal government has blamed the lingering fuel scarcity in the country on the “sins” of the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan. Addressing state house correspondents at the end of the federal executive council (FEC) meeting on Monday, Lai Mohammed, minister of information, said the immediate past government failed to make adequate provision for fuel subsidy. He added that pipelines that were vandalisation of pipelines under Jonathan made it impossible for fuel to be transported to different distribution points in the country. “One of the reasons for the fuel scarcity is the inability of the last government to make inadequate provision for fuel subsidy,” he said. “We do face some other logistic problems but majorly, we are paying for the sins of the last administration. “I will be telling Nigerians is that what we met on ground is such that we are paying for the sins of the last administration. I am very serious. You remember that about two weeks ago, we had to go to the national assembly for a supplementary budget of N674 billion. “Of that figure, N522billion was for arrears of fuel subsidy which was incurred as far back as August last year. “The solution is what you have seen us doing.
The first thing we have done now is to make sure that unlike before when the marketers used to import the major percentage of the fuel. NNPC has been involved in importation, because some of the marketers had stopped importing for a couple of months. “If you see fuel anywhere today, it is imported by the NNPC. In tanks today we have 14 days reserve and off tank we have 10 days reserve. “The issue is not non-availability of the product it is the distribution, because of pipelines that have been vandalized. We also inherited the vandalisation of the pipelines which has made it impossible for us to even transport the fuel. “As at two days ago this matter has been resolved. The Mosinmi pipeline has been secured and it has lead to the improvement in the distribution.”

And I told her I wanted to show her true love… Actually, she was the person that started it by always changing her cloths in front of me and this attracted me” – Says John Awah, who claimed that the multiple rounds of sex he had with his daughter was ‘consensual’ It sounds bizarre, untrue, and squeamish, but it’s the whole truth. Yes, it actually took place in Nigeria, Lagos, a city where everything seems possible. When Chinyere, 18, decided to leave her mother in Abia State and pay her father, John Awah, a visit in Lagos, she must have been longing for a tender loving care, which fathers give their children. But she surely did not bargain for what she eventually ended up with – steamy sex sessions with her father. Upon her arrival, her father was shocked to his bone marrow that his daughter who left him when she was a year old, had suddenly grown to a full girl, and he suddenly fell in love with her. Awah said: “I became attracted ...
