“The first Christmas that Nigerians, especially Lagosians, will mark under the APC will go down in history as one of the worst due to the worsening fuel scarcity. The electricity supply which President Buhari promised last year has not come to pass and those who want to use generators cannot make use of generators as filling stations are not dispensing fuel in jerry cans.”

Gani also lambasted Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture, for blaming former President Goodluck Jonathan for the fuel scarcity.

“Nigerians know that it is not true that Jonathan is the reason why everything has gone worse under Buhari. The APC has the tendency to claim Jonathan’s achievements but blame him for its inefficiencies.

“A few weeks after President Buhari assumed power, he took credit for the improvement in the power sector, saying that his body language had evoked change when everyone knew that it was Jonathan’s achievement.”

“Now that Nigerians are groaning, the APC is blaming Jonathan. You cannot have your cake and eat it.

He claimed that APC is yet to fulfil any of their promises.
