Bolaji Abdullahi, spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has denied a statement being circulated on the Nigerian social media in which he was quoted as giving reasons for the current fuel crisis.
Lere Olayinka, a media aide to Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, had tweeted a statement quoting Abdullahi as saying there is fuel scarcity “because Buhari’s economy made Nigerians to buy too many cars this year”.
Abdullahi said even as a satire, “the statement sounds stupid”.
“I have never made a single comment on fuel scarcity. That Lere Olayinka should show people where and when I said it and who I said it to. He is a bloody liar whose conscience is his chief accomplice,” he said.

Stop manufacturing things in my name. I didn’t say this stupid thing and you know. God is watching you in 3D.
