Governor of Delta, Sheriff Oborevwori has cautioned petroleum marketers against hoarding and hiking the pump price of petrol as such making life difficult for Deltans.

In a statement made by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Festus Ahon, said the State Government would not watch marketers exploit Deltans of their hard-earned income through the creation of artificial scarcity.

The governor made it clear that the state would not hesitate to take necessary action against any filling station found hoarding the product or selling above the official price.

“We have heard and seen the reaction of Petroleum Marketers in the state to the announcement of alleged subsidy removal by President Bola Tinubu.”, he said, noting that the state government would not tolerate acts that would make life difficult for Deltans.

Oborewori said the state government has heard reports of filling stations in the state hoarding products and creating artificial scarcity to increase the prices.

He described the actions of the marketers as unpatriotic and waging economic war against the people of the state.

The governor thereafter, urged marketers to be patriotic and sell their products to the general public at the official pump price, disclosing that the relevant government agencies had been directed to monitor the situation and ensure total compliance with the directive.
