The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged fuel marketers to resist from hoarding Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), which is also known as Petrol.

The ruling party has also advised Nigerians to stop panic buying, adding that the country has enough supply of petrol that could last it for another 40 days.

The National Secretary, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the APC, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja gave the assurance.

Akpanudoedehe stated that “The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is in touch with the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, H.E. Timipre Sylva, and the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mele Kyari, over the fuel queues noticed in some parts of the country.

“It is artificial fuel scarcity. We have received assurances from the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and NNPC GMD that there is more than enough petrol to last the country for 40 days.

“There is no need for panic buying and we urge petroleum filling stations to resist the urge to hoard products and illegally hike prices”.
