Nigerians have taken to social media to blast President Muhammadu Buhari over the worsening fuel scarcity across the country.
Most of them who reacted on Twitter expressed their displeasure at the inaction of Buhari especially in his position as petroleum minister.
Similarly, some senators requested that Buhari appears before the upper chamber to answer for the problems faced by Nigerians.
Senator Enyinaya Abaribe (Abia South) took the floor earlier today and said “change has come but there is no change”.
In the same vein, Senator Shehu Sani said the fuel scarcity “is a serious issue and the Minister of State for Petroleum should be invited”.
Here are some reactions from Nigerians:
#fuelscarcity Buhari you promised #40 per litre but we cant even see to buy at #150,u lied to gullible Nigerians,now we’re suffering 2gether

Criticising the last administration for #FuelScarcity was right, but keeping quiet now because your man is there is totally wrong.

This #FuelScarcity exposes the fact that we don't have a Petroleum minister but a sole administrator who is in charge of our food basket.
