Senate Minority Whip and member of  the Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream), Senator Philip Aduda, who said he was speaking for the PDP senators, tasked President Muhammadu Buhari to live up to his campaign promises of delivering change to Nigerians.

According to Aduda, what Nigerians are passing through at the moment is unacceptable.

He said: “The government should look for petrol and ensure that it is given to the people. It is unacceptable, we are Nigerians and it will be bad for us to continue remaining in queues.

“If the APC leaders like, let them blame themselves, that’s their problem but the most important thing is for us to have fuel in the federal republic of Nigeria.

“That is what we are looking for and that is what we want. We want to see all these queues disappear.”
