 Fuel scarcity bites harder in Abuja, Ondo, Osun, others • Independent marketers sell PMS between N625 and N799 per litre There is no succour yet for motorists and other petrol end users despite the Thursday statement by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) that it had resolved the logistic problems that sparked the supply crisis. Reports from across the country yesterday showed that many filling stations had no fuel to sell. Some sold over and above the threshold of N650 per litre while motorists and other buyers besieged the few ones that sold within the range of N600 per litre. While many petrol stations in Lagos sold fuel at the normal price and queues were not noticeable, it was a different story in the industrial town of Ota, Ogun State where some filling stations hiked their pump price to N799 per litre. In Abuja, over 80% of the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) retail outlets shut down their operations yesterday, creating an opportunity for a massive black market a

      January 17, 2020 Press Statement PDP Replies APC: You Can’t Get Away With Imo ...Berates APC For Celebrating Injustice, Insulting Nigerians The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the All Progressives Congress (APC) is gloating on Nigerians and celebrating the accursed judgment of the Supreme Court on Imo governorship election because it is anti people and its leaders will never understand the value of democracy. The APC, in celebrating the judgment, which is manifestly loathsome to the generality of Nigerians, has further confirmed that, not only that the APC is behind the judicial manipulation, but also that it has no iota of regard for the sensibility and mood of Nigerians against the injustice perpetuated. Nigerians are however not surprised that APC is championing the destruction of our democratic values and the unity of our nation as its leaders never played any decisive role but were in hypocritical posturing while the leaders of the PDP fought to entrench demo

In a ruling on Friday, Justice Bello Kawu refused to reverse the judgement of the court delivered in December which removed Uba as a member of the Senate. He, however, ordered that Mr Obinna Uzoh of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who had challenged Ubah’s victory in the February 23 poll, be recognised as the winner of the election. The judge also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue a certificate of return to Uzoh, the applicant, as the senator-elect in the district.
