Yesterday on Channels Television programme: “Sunday Politics,” the Presidency, through Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, rose in defence of the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, saying the minister was speaking the truth when he said that Nigerians would have to wait till May for the scarcity to go away.
Adesina said Kachikwu should not be crucified for telling Nigerians the truth. He pointed out that Nigerians were unhappy with the statement credited to the minister because they wanted him to perform magic which would make the commodity readily available in two weeks.
Adesina stressed that the truth which Nigerians should accept was that it would take weeks before the scarcity would go away..
