El-Rufai: Tinubu Publicly Begged Me To Be Minister In His Government But Changed His Mind

“Guys, I was minister 20 years ago in my forties, and I told Tinubu I did not want to be minister, I was not interested. He appealed to me, begged me, and he gave me a challenge. What was the challenge? Nobody has sorted out electricity, no president has defeated the electricity mafia, you and I can work to defeat it. It was the challenge that made me accept. Now, I had an opportunity to serve my country, and the person that gave me that opportunity changed his mind, and it’s okay. I’ve moved on with my life.”

Nigerians, especially motorists or vehicle owners, heaved a sigh of relief when the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) announced reduction in fuel price from N1,060 to N965 across all its retail stations nationwide. Also, the Dangote Group through its Refinery reduced its price per litre to N899 reaching out to Nigerians through the MRS filling stations[/b]. But what literally should be a source of joy has become an avenue for fuel stations to cheat, shortchange, and fleece motorists and Nigerians of their hard-earned money by dispensing less quality fuel which blows out easily in a very short time. In Abuja, commercial drivers are complaining bitterly of not meeting their daily target anymore apparently because of the shenanigans of the fuel stations through their attendants.
