The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has accused Governor Ayodele Fayose of destroying posters of its presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and other APC candidates for the 2015 general elections.

The party also alleged that the governor had recruited members of a faction of the Oodua Peoples Congress, through the leader of the Peoples democratic Party faction in the Assembly, Dele Olugbemi, to unleash attack on its members and secretariats in the state.

The APC had on Monday raised the alarm over alleged plan by leaders of the PDP to attack Buhari and his convoy when coming for the Saturday presidential campaign rally.

Addressing journalists in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday, the State Publicity Secretary of the party, Taiwo Olatunbosun, said, Ekiti is in a political turmoil, crisis, hostility, pandemonium, harakiri, unrest, instability, and we believe all the security agencies will view it seriously.

Today, our candidates are finding it difficult to move freely on the streets of Ekiti. It is even a big issue for us to be in the office.

He recalled that the party had petitioned the National Security Adviser, security agencies, President Goodluck Jonathan and royal fathers on the ongoing violence in the state without any response.

He queried why the state government started removing campaign posters after Jonathan had visited the state for campaign.

Olatunbosun said, We have paid to signage (agency) the required fees. The first letter we got from them was after the campaign of their own presidential candidate. Before then, they never raised any issue. They have the record that we have paid to paste posters.

We are law abiding citizens, having met the condition, should they recruit members of the OPC to start removing our posters?

With the All Progressives Congress presidential rally in Kaduna a few hours away, hundreds of youths took over the major streets in state capital on Monday, chanting solidarity songs for the presidential candidate of the party, Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd).

The youths macrhed through the ever-busy Ahmadu Bello Way, chantting sai Buhari, meaning, its Buhari we want; changi, meaning we need change.

The youths, on tricycles, otherwise known as Keke NAPEP, motor bikes, branded cars of the APC presidential candidate, and that of the partys flag bearer in the state, Nasir El-Rufai, rode through the ever-busy Ahmadu Bello Way, WAFF road, also known as Muhammadu Buhari Way, leading to the Murtala Square.

Our correspondent gathered that the youths marched to the front of the Sir Kashim Ibrahim (Government) House, and stood from a distance of about 100 metres away from the main gate, asking the incumbent governor, Mukhtar Yero, that it was time for him to pack.

They changi oyoyo, meaning, welcome change.

They said they were peaceful and assured residents that they should have no cause to worry as they marched through the streets in peacefully.

At the Stadium Roundabout, there was graffiti of change, change, change written on walls along the road.

The youths, in Hausa, said even if El-Rufai would demolish their houses after winning the election, they were ready to build another house.

The All Progressives Congress has accused the Federal Government of making a show out of deceit by its so-called fuel price reduction, saying a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol (from N97 to N87) is a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent.

In a statement in Lagos on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the pump price of a litre of fuel should not be more than N70.

It said the reduction in price meant that at N87 per litre, the government is forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.

APC stated, When crude oil was selling at $100 per barrel, the landing cost of PMS without subsidy was 125 Naira per litre. Now that the oil price has crashed to about $44 per barrel, the landing cost without subsidy is about N65 per litre. The same goes for diesel, which should not sell for more than N90 per litre.

The party added that while governments of countries, which are not as economically endowed as Nigeria, had reduced the pump price of fuel as far back as early January 2015, Nigeria, which is the worlds sixth largest producer of oil, was just announcing a price slash that was far below those countries.

Early this year, Zambia slashed the price of petrol by 23 per cent while Tanzania reduced the pump price of the product by 16 per cent. In the US, which, until recently, was importing crude oil from Nigeria, the price of fuel has fallen for 113 consecutive days as of January 16. Therefore, the 10.3 per cent price slash in Nigeria is too meagre, too late, the party said.

It said the real reasons that the Federal Government had delayed slashing the price of imported petroleum products, following the crash in crude oil prices, were the massive corruption in the oil sector and lack of political will on the part of the countrys leadership.

APC added, With Nigeria depending on importation of petroleum products to meet about 90 per cent of its domestic consumption, the country is relying heavily on the term contracts entered into with petroleum product trading companies to meet its domestic demand. It is possible that the petroleum products pricing formulas embedded in these contracts, which generally run for up to one and a half and in some cases two years, have not anticipated these low prices.

Therefore, unless the government moves to renegotiate the contracts now, it may not reap the full benefits of the decline in petroleum prices. But here is the catch: Since the government and its agents have skimmed off huge commissions from the firms with which the term of contracts were signed, it could not possibly go back and renegotiate those contracts or go into new forward contracts that will reflect the current reduction in crude oil prices.

It takes a strong willed, determined and transparent leadership to immediately call in the petroleum products contracts for re-negotiation, as this will represent a huge blow to corruption in the sector since clearly commissions would have been paid by petroleum product traders on the existing contracts.
