“Femi Falana, a human rights lawyer, amplified the concerns during his appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today. He attributed fuel scarcity and the rising cost of living to mismanagement within the NNPCL. ‘This is a monumental fraud,’ Falana said. ‘The situation is a calculated perpetuation of suffering. The time to act is now. Mr. Kyari must be shown the way out, and the NNPCL must be reformed to serve the interests of all Nigerians.'”

“Aminu Abbas, the protest convener, urged President Bola Tinubu to take decisive action. ‘We will not be silenced,’ Abbas stated. ‘The fuel scarcity we endure today is not just a mere inconvenience; it is a calculated perpetuation of suffering. The time to act is now. Mr. Kyari must be shown the way out, and the NNPCL must be reformed to serve the interests of all Nigerians.'”
