For as long as two days, the state capital, Akure and numerous towns over the state have been encountering the shortage of oil the same number of filling stations were asserted to store the item so as to make counterfeit shortage and get more cash-flow.
It was seen that the greater part of the petroleum stations claimed by the autonomous advertisers were not selling the item but rather just the stations of the real advertisers that were selling in the midst of long lines.
To this end, the state government, through the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Rotimi Akeredolu on Special obligations and Strategy, Dr Doyin Odebowale, said it would manage any oil seller that made life troublesome for the residents by storing the item
Adebowale, while responding to the rise of lines at the filling stations in certain pieces of state on Sunday, in an announcement, claimed that it was a plot by certain advertisers to swindle people in general, saying the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation had accentuated that there was no rhyme or reason for shortage
The announcement read to some extent, "The Ondo State Government sees, with grave concern, the most recent endeavor by some corrupt people to make alarm through the storing of PMS.
"This strike on conventionality is coming when the NNPC keeps on repeating certainties on the accessibility of the item. Nigerians have been guaranteed of normal supply of the item and this legislature has no motivation to doubt the association.
"It is against this background the administration cautions, sternly, all oil vendors in the state to cease from any unpatriotic demonstration, which may exact torments on the general population. We, on our part, will oppose and endorse any untoward practice, imagined or potentially executed, to induce hardship in Ondo State."
