Buy your own fuel when coming to Ekiti, Fayose's aide warns

- Fuel scarcity is set to hit Ekiti state as petrol marketers remain at loggerheads with the government

- Fuel dealers are reportedly refusing to sell to motorists leading to increasing queues

- Governor Fayose's aide however says the government is working on a peaceful resolution

People visiting Ekiti state from May 19, should endeavour to buy their fuel from outside the state, due to the current scarcity of petroleum products in the state.

Governor Fayose's Special Assistant on public communications and new media made this announcement via his Facebook page on Thursday, May 18.

"Owing to the refusal of petrol dealers in Ekiti State to sell fuel to motorists, visitors coming to the State for the burial of our father and leader, General Adeyinka Adebayo are advised to buy petrol in neighbouring States before entering Ekiti state.

Visitors should endeavour to fill up their vehicles' petrol tanks in petrol stations in neighbouring States before they enter Ekiti State.

"Meanwhile, the state government will continue to dialogue with leaders of the petrol marketers association in Ekiti with a view to getting them to commence sales of petrol in the state."
