Femi Adesina, the spokesperson to Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari, has expressed a strong hope that Nigerians will survive the current scarcity of petrol.<\/p>\n

In an opinion piece he personally wrote and posted on his Facebook page on Thursday entitled, \u2018Knock, Knock. Who\u2019s There?,\u2019 Adesina said Nigeria had experienced petrol scarcity before and came out unscathed.<\/p>\n

The presidential spokesperson said Buhari is working \u201cnight and day\u201d to ensure that there is enough petrol in circulation.<\/p>\n

Adesina wrote: \u201cIt\u2019s obviously not the easiest of times in our country currently, what with severe fuel scarcity exacerbating the other existential challenges we have been coping with. In some areas, there\u2019s no fuel, no electricity, thus translating to severe energy crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cYet some other people have children, wards, dependents, relations in Ukraine, currently being bombarded by Russia. I have one, daughter of a family friend. When I spoke with her last week, she was hiding in a bunker, talking in whispers.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut amidst it all, no fuel, no electricity, anxiety about Ukraine, general insecurity, Government continues to work. The Heavens won\u2019t fall, and sanity would be restored. The current situation is called SNAFU: Situation Normal All Fouled Up. Normalcy will definitely return. \u201cBe patient, my soul. Thou hath suffered worse than this.\u201d (Thomas Holcroft).<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you like King Lear at his gloomy worst? I\u2019ve come to knock on your door. Are you saturnine and lugubrious \u2018cos there\u2019s no fuel, no light, no power? \u2018Dem go reach bed power no dey, shuffering and smiling,\u2019 Fela Anikulapo-Kuti had sang long ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe patient my soul, thou hath suffered worse than this.\u201d There were cases of bad fuel before in this country. We slept for days, weeks on end at petrol stations, queuing for fuel. We survived. We will survive again. Las las.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve come to knock and ring and tap on your door today, to remind you that it is not all doom and gloom in our country. However overcast the sky is, there\u2019s always a shimmer of light.<\/p>\n

\u201cFuel crisis will come and go. The energy crisis will be resolved. Nigerians who appreciate good things will be made happy progressively.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is is why I\u2019m knocking on your door. Ringing on your bell. Tapping on your window too. And if you don\u2019t come out to enjoy the bright moonlight, \u201cI\u2019m gonna knock and ring and tap until you do.\u201d<\/p>\n
