The Coalition of Concerned Northern Forum(CCNF )says that there have been misgivings and misreading of their needs, especially by those who profit from crisis situations, for the elimination of the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mele Kolo Kyari and the prosecution of importers involved in the infected fuel.

DAILY POST recalls that the CCNF had actually contacted Kyari and Engr. Farouk Ahmed, the Chief Executive Officer of Nigeria Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (MDPRA) to tender their resignation within 72 hours over the relentless fuel scarcity in the country.

The group likewise demanded that NNPC management make public authentic and detailed names of those associated with the present shortage of petroleum items all over the country.

According to the group, “It has actually ended up being unavoidable to put the records directly that our position has no political affiliation or influence nor been sponsored by any private or groups. Our call was substantiated of patriotism over the hardship occasioned by the shortage of premium motor spirit and the big economic effect of the bad fuel at a time government is coping dwindling profits.”

The group, in a joint statement issued by its chairman and spokesperson, Mallam Ibrahim Bature and Comrade Abdulsalam Moh ‘d Kazeem, stated it backed the call for a thorough examination as ordered by President Muhammadu Buhari and urged security companies to conclude the probe in excellent time and sanction all those responsible.

It commended the management of the NNPC Ltd for taking prompt action by alerting the country on the bad fuel and for taking measured steps to remember the bad product and injecting over 700 million litres and the promise of additional 2.1 billion litres to address the shortage.

The statement demanded that regulatory and security agencies ensure that fuel stations cost the maximum installed capability, adding that in the event any station is discovered to be undermining the federal government’s effort, the product be dispensed free to vehicle drivers and such station sealed.

According to the declaration, “We withdraw our notification for the sack of the NNPC management and across the country demonstration but stay committed to the sanctioning of the importing business and their officials.”

It lamented the efforts by specific unique interests to pirate their demand and use their position to blackmail today NNPC management over the existing artificial PMS scarcity occasioned by marketers dispensing less pumps at a time.
