Nigerians will endure the present fuel shortage, according to President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesman, Femi Adesina.
According to Adesina, the sky will not fall due to the current fuel shortage, and Nigerians would survive as usual.
This was said in his most recent weekly article, “KNOCK, KNOCK, WHO’S THERE?” published on Thursday.
Nigerians had faced a similar predicament in the past, according to the presidential aide, and they had survived.
According to Adesina’s article: “It’s obviously not the easiest of times in our country currently, what with severe fuel scarcity exacerbating the other existential challenges we have been coping with.
“In some areas, there’s no fuel, no electricity, thus translating to a severe energy crisis
“There were cases of bad fuel before in this country. We slept for days, weeks on end at petrol stations, queuing for fuel. We survived. We will survive again. Las las.”
Nigerians have been battling with fuel scarcity since February.
The scarcity is said to have been caused by the importation of adulterated fuel.
However, the Federal Government had assured Nigerians that normalcy would soon return because it has enough fuel.
