The state government also warned marketers to desist from the act, as those found culpable would be made to face the full wrath of the law. Edo State Commissioner for Energy, Oil and Gas, Mr. Joseph Ugheoke, who gave the warning in a statement in Benin City, yesterday, said the state government had called a meeting with executives of the Edo State Chapter of Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigerian, IPMAN, and Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria, MOMAN, to strategise on how to ensure steady supply of petroleum products during the Easter celebrations.

He said: “It has come to the notice of the state government that petroleum marketers are illegally hoarding and diverting petroleum products thereby, creating unnecessary hiccups and tension in the sector.” “All petroleum marketers are hereby enjoined to cooperate with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, to ensure that petroleum products are promptly distributed.”

He assured Edo people of adequate supply of petroleum products across the state, particularly during the Easter period.” Stating that the state government was working to ensure that petroleum marketers do not exploit members of the public, he warned “Any petroleum marketer found to be selling Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) above the stipulated price of N145 per litre or causing a hitch in the supply chain, will be made to face the full wrath of the law.

There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate.

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him.
