 Another youth party in Nigeria has expressed great dismay that the federal government has not held any official accountable for the sharing competence of importing 3 million litres of substandard petrol. And this negligence of duty, they say, has cost the country billions of Naira, as several cars and generators have suffered huge damages from the substandard petrol. The youth expressed their displeasure that the government has shown no remorse for its incompetence saying this is unacceptable. And we are now being joined by the National Publicity Secretary, Yudh Patti Ayodele Adio, right here in the studio. Thanks for joining us on the news at this time. Thank you for having me. Okay, do you think this mere display of your anger over this issue is enough? I mean, our display of anger is a frustration and irritation that comes from a lack of accountability from public officials who should otherwise know better. I mean, we're talking about importing 100 million litres of adulterated petrol into the country that has knocked off engines for cars, for generators, and yet no one is held to account. It makes absolutely no sense to me. It's been, first of all, it took three days and public outcry for the NNPC to have the courtesy to issue a public statement when cars were being damaged, when queues were already piling up at the filling stations. They didn't deem it fit to inform Nigerians why there was scarcity or why there was a bad petrol that was knocking car engines. It took the President, who doubles as the Minister of Petroleum, an extra two, three days to issue what for me again, you wouldn't even call a very stern statement on the issue that had befalling the entire country. So it looks to me like the government in power is taking the Nigerian people for granted and public officials who should be held accountable are getting off with as little as a slap on the wrist. And that cannot be acceptable in our country. Okay, so NNPC says they are on top of their game. So why do you still feel Nigerians are being taken for granted? The NNPC cannot be on top of its game because it claims that it has enough reserves and then there's still scarcity all over the country. And it's important to emphasize this point. The NNPC have also said that they may require to spend 201 billion Naira to clean up the bad petrol, 201 billion Naira. ASU is going on strike or they have just gone on strike because the federal government lacks 30 billion Naira to give them for revitalization fund for the universities. And if you add on their allowances that they're asking for, it's 65 billion Naira. So a country that cannot give 65 billion Naira to ASU, its educational sector, to stop it from going on strike, the institution that builds human capital in its country is going to waste 201 billion Naira to clean up fuel for its gross incompetence and no one is held to account. And that angers me so much. Okay, having said this, I can say the passion with which you've spoken. But then what do you think should be the way forward? There can be no way forward if public officials are not held accountable. So I would argue that the first thing that needs to happen is that people must be punished for costing the country billions of Naira, for costing a lot of hardship and for costing damages to the Nigerian people. Somebody must be held accountable. We pay these people in the NNPC, in the NNDPR, the DPRs. We pay them huge salaries and allowances from taxpayers funds. And the least that we expect is that somebody is held accountable for what is a scandalous issue that has befalling our country. So the least, the only way we can go forward is to first serve an example. So it's the deterrent to people coming after. Somebody has to be fired from his job or somebody has to be suspended. Somebody just has to be held accountable before we can move forward. All of this talk shop hearing in the House of Representatives, we are going back and forth, will not move the needle. We've seen this movie a thousand times over and we know how it ends. Except somebody is held accountable. This behavior will be reinforced. It will happen again and the Nigerian people will continue to be taken for granted. And that is unacceptable. I want to say thank you, Mr. Adelaide, for coming into the studio and giving us this update and how do you feel about what is happening in the nation right now. Thank you for your time.
