\u00a0December 22, 2017: As Nigerians groan under a biting shortage of petrol, Nigeria\u2019s ruling party has said the product is available in abundance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no \u2018actual scarcity\u2019,\u201d the APC said in a statement on Twitter Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The party blamed marketers and panic buying during yuletide holidays for the lingering scarcity.<\/p>\n

Unavailability of petrol has thrown the country into a renewed state of chaos for more than three weeks, despite several promises by the Buhari administration that it was in control of the situation.<\/p>\n

The scarcity has seen petrol prices skyrocket from N145 maximum approved price to as much as N400 at the black market.<\/p>\n

Millions of Nigerian also sleep at filling stations across the country in search of the product, and many join queues with little or no inkling that a filling station will sell.<\/p>\n

A four-day ultimatum issued to the Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu, resolve the crisis elapsed two weekends ago.<\/p>\n
