Lai Mohammed blamed GEJ on lingering of fuel scarcity

The Minister of information,Lai Muhammed,while talking to journalists after the Federal Executive Council (FEC )which was chaired by President Muhammadu Buhari at Abuja on 21 December said that Nigerians are paying for the crimes committed by the former president,Goodluck Jonathan.

  
He said 
           “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.”
