Seal Up Fuel Hoarding Stations —Delta Residents

By Ogo Clarkson

Residents of Delta state have called on the newly elected Governor of the state, Sheriff Oborevwori to mandate the Petroleum Monitoring team to seal up any filling station that is hoarding or selling petroleum product beyond the regulated price of two hundred naira.

Respondents in Warri, Asaba and environs said they are facing a tough time getting the product to run their business following the statement made my the new President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, reminding Nigerians of the subsidy removal by the end of June.

Mattew Atete who was at the Shaphat filling station since 7am to 4pm on Tuesday said this is not a right way to commence President Tinubu first day in office because majority of the petroleum dealers have took unnecessary advantage to milk the public.

He urged Governor Oborevwori to clampdown on any filling station hoarding the petroleum product.

“I have been here since 7am just to get fuel for my car and business but can’t get any of it because majority of the filling station have suddenly shutdown to sale three times the price”.

Emma Kings said Governor Oborevwori needs to be proactive as the hope of the people from hardship.

“Our new Governor needs to take necessary measures like Edo or Ekiti state Governors to seal up filling stations that are selling beyond the regulated price before the due date”.

However, Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state and Governor Biodun Ajebanji of Ekiti state has started revoking and sealing filling stations that default.
