I Was Criticized When I Increased Fuel Price To N87 - Goodluck Jonathan by Nobody: 9:01am On Oct 21, 2017 |
Former President Goodluck Jonathan says he is
surprised that those who criticised him for leaving the
pump price of fuel at N87 are not speaking out now
that it has been jerked up to N143.
In 2012, Jonathan’s administration increased fuel price
from N67 to N97 but reduced it to N87 in January
2015. At the time, the move was seen as political,
given that it was in an election year.
Speaking on Thursday when Tunde Adeniran, one of
the chairmanship aspirants of the PDP, visited him in
his Abuja office, Jonathan defended the decisions he
took on the price of fuel.
In what seems to be an indirect attack on the ruling
All Progressives Congress (APC), Jonathan said the
PDP led Nigerians well in its 16 years of being in
power “even though some people came up with
propaganda and lies that 16 years of the party in
government was a waste".
My government was severely criticised for increasing
the pump price of petroleum from N67 to N97 at a
time that global crude price was going for over 100
dollars,” Ikechukwu Eze, Jonathan’s spokesman,
quoted him as saying. The pump price was later
reduced to N87 when the price of crude oil dropped
and they attacked us that it was supposed to be
lower.
Those who criticised my administration are not talking
again now that the global crude oil is about 53 dollars
per barrel and the pump price of petrol is N143. Source: |

a true leader never imposes himself on anybody but rather he allows his work speak for him. Even God in the book of Deuteronomy 30:19 says (KJV) "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live" |
