Hehehe...okoooo....The Edo State Governor, Adams
Oshiomhole, on Thursday accused the Peoples Democratic Party-led Federal
Government of duping Nigerians by selling kerosene N150 per litre
instead of N50.
Oshiomhole, who said this while
receiving defectors from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress in
Benin, the Edo State capital, also said that Nigerians had been
suffering since the PDP assumed power 16 years ago.
This, he said, was because of the PDP’s dedication “to preserve the privileges of the few.”
Oshiomhole said the Federal Government
had been doing this by not allowing the masses to enjoy the benefits of
the natural resources bestowed on the country by God through shady
subsidy deals on petroleum products.
The governor said, “The man who has a
shop must close by 6 pm. If he operates beyond 6pm, he must put on a
generator, and buy petrol or diesel. For 16 years, the PDP can’t give us
light. But if they leave us in peace even in the dark, it will be bad
enough but for them, that is not bad enough.”
“From Otuoke to Benin City, to Lagos, to
Ekpoma, to Iyahmo, to Sokoto, kerosene is now between N150 and N160 per
litre. For every N150 you spend in buying a litre of kerosene, the PDP
steals N100 because in the books of the NNPC, they have it on records
that kerosene is N50 per litre.”
Oshiomhole also commended the quality of the defectors, who he described as knowledgeable.
He said, “Today is not just the fact of
the huge number in this hall but it is also about the quality of the
brains that have now join us; and in a world that is knowledge-driven,
it is only the party that can parade the best brains that can drive the
sustainable change that Nigeria is currently battling with in order to
bail our country from its present political quagmire.”
The governor also likened the ruling party to “an impotent man.”
