Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has said the lingering scarcity of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) otherwise called petrol; in the country has everything to do with the preceding administration.
Speaking after today’s federal executive council meeting, Mr Mohammed said Nigerians are paying for the sins of Jonathan and his team.
“What 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 being 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, N522 billion was for arrears of fuel subsidy which was incurred as far back as August last year. One of the reasons for the fuel scarcity was the inability of the last government to make adequate provision for fuel subsidy.
“We do face some other logistic problems but majorly we are paying for the sins of the last administration.”
