Dear Mr @PeterObi,
Allow me to educate you and save you from the continuous ignorance you dwell in in regards to critical matters.
The recent rise in fuel prices in Nigeria is not primarily because the country lacks a strategic petroleum reserve. The more immediate factor is that the fuel market is now largely deregulated following the subsidy removal by the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In a deregulated system, petrol prices respond directly to global oil prices, exchange rates, shipping costs, and supply risks. So when geopolitical tensions involving Iran push global oil prices upward, countries that rely heavily on imported refined products like Nigeria will inevitably feel the effect at the pump. That is simply how an open market behaves.
It is also not accurate to suggest that strategic petroleum reserves are tools used to control everyday pump prices. Even countries with very large reserves, such as the United States and China, maintain them primarily for serious supply emergencies, wars, embargoes, or major disruptions to global supply chains. They are not routinely deployed simply because prices move in the global market.
Nigeria’s real challenge has always been deeper and more structural. For decades, the country has struggled with limited refining capacity and a heavy dependence on imported refined products, despite being one of the world’s major crude oil producers. That structural imbalance, combined with exchange rate pressures has consistently made the country vulnerable to global price movements.
So yes, planning matters. But reducing the entire issue to “Nigeria failed to plan because it does not have a strategic reserve” completely misses the broader reality. Real planning would involve expanding domestic refining capacity, strengthening supply chains, stabilizing the foreign exchange environment, and maintaining consistent energy policies.
It is worth reminding you that during your presidential campaign, you clearly stated that you would remove fuel subsidy if elected.
So the same policy framework that now allows prices to reflect market realities is one you publicly supported.
More importantly, this is where it becomes clear that the issue is not just the argument but the understanding behind it. When someone who once held the office of governor begins to make such sweeping conclusions about a complex global energy market, it is frankly embarrassing. A former governor should know better than to reduce a multi-layered economic issue to a simplistic talking point.
Sometimes the wiser thing to do is simply sit a conversation out when one does not fully understand how the system works rather than jumping at every opportunity to malign Nigeria as this has been your M.O(Modus Operandi). It would save both the country and the speaker from unnecessary embarrassment.

When Countries Fail to Plan Many people wonder why any adverse development in the global economy quickly impacts Nigeria. A recent example is the tension involving Iran, which led to an increase in global oil prices and, subsequently, a rise in petroleum prices in Nigeria. A few weeks ago, petrol was selling for less than ₦1,000 per litre, but today it costs over ₦1,200 per litre. Diesel, which was also priced below ₦1,000 per litre, is now over ₦1,500 per litre. These rapid increases illustrate how quickly external shocks can affect the Nigerian economy. The reason for this is straightforward: most countries, whether they are oil-producing or non-oil-producing, maintain strategic petroleum reserves to cushion against supply or price shocks. This means that when there is a disruption in the global oil market, they can release part of these reserves to stabilize supply. However, Nigeria lacks such a buffer, so the impact is felt almost immediately. The underlying issue is a lack of planning. Countries that engage in planning create buffers against shocks, while those that do not remain vulnerable to them. The old maxim remains true: when a country fails to plan, it has already planned to fail. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
