Petrol marketers in Ekiti State have condemned a threat by Governor Ayo Fayose to demolish more petrol stations in the wake of withdrawal of fuel supply by national secretariats of Petrol Tanker Drivers and National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers.
Spokesman of the state chapter of Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Ademola Ajayi, said the alleged mobilization of thugs to attack some filling stations in Ado-Ekiti last week is a bad signal to investors wishing to do business in the state.
The fuel scarcity which was sparked by Fayose’s face-off with local marketers and national unions of associations in the downstream sector has reached the third week.
Ajayi accused Fayose of ruining businesses with what he called “draconian policies” saying the threat to demolish more filling stations would complicate the crisis on ground.
