GEJ Blames Aminu Tambuwal & 36 State Governors For His Subsidy Removal & Loss by KenOne: 5:47am On Nov 21, 2018
Goodluck Jonathan is actually from South-East that blames every body and everything except him or herself for his or her woes. Because a true Niger Delta man takes responsibility for his action and inaction and will be able to beat his chest and say i did take this and stand by it instead.

Rather Goodluck Jonathan has followed the part of the South-East in blaming everyone except him for his failures while in government as president.

Goodluck Jonathan blames the governors then for his government inability to save for the raining days that plunged Nigeria into recession after oil price fall.

Goodluck Jonathan blames US government under the leadership of Barack Obama, Northern leaders and governors for his 2015 election loss.

Goodluck Jonathan blames opposition party APC then for Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen crisis and as well as police force headquarters bombing, Nyanyan bombing, Eagle square bombing on independence celebration and UN office bombing all in Abuja.

Nearly six years after implementing a controversial fuel subsidy withdrawal which sparked a nationwide protest, former President Goodluck Jonathan has revealed that it was the 36 state governors who pushed him to remove the subsidy to provide more money for them.

Jonathan, who made the startling revelation in his book, My Transition Hours, unveiled in an upscale event in Abuja yesterday, however, accused the same governors of precipitating a mass protest against him and his administration when Nigerians kicked against the fuel price hike from N65 to N97 per litre.

The former president also slammed the then speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, who is currently the governor of Sokoto State, for hobnobbing with the opposition to tackle him over the fuel price increase.

Jonathan recalled how Tambuwal mobilised the members of the House to sit on a Sunday just to condemn the deregulation approved by his administration.

Revealed: Govs championed 2012 fuel subsidy removal —Jonathan

Nearly six years after implementing a controversial fuel subsidy withdrawal which sparked a nationwide protest, former President Goodluck Jonathan has revealed that it was the 36 state governors who pushed him to remove the subsidy to provide more money for them.

The former president also slammed the then speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, who is currently the governor of Sokoto State, for hobnobbing with the opposition to tackle him over the fuel price increase.

Jonathan recalled how Tambuwal mobilised the members of the House to sit on a Sunday just to condemn the deregulation approved by his administration.

The former leader said that Tambuwal embarked on the session in the hope that he (Jonathan) had travelled out of the country to South Africa for the centenary celebration of African National Congress, ANC.

“That was the first and only time in Nigeria’s political history that the Parliament sat on a Sunday. At that sitting, an opposition member of the House got up to allege that I had abandoned the nation at such a crucial time to join in festivity in South Africa.

“Unknown to the House, on that same day, while they were sitting, I was at Eagle Square to commission mass transit vehicles my administration purchased to cushion the effect of the subsidy removal.

‘’I had to address the issue by telling the nation that it was untrue that I had abandoned the nation at such a crucial time to join festivities in South Africa. The country was tense and the public was wondering what would happen next,” he said.

Jonathan accused the governors, especially those from the opposition APC, of abandoning their push for deregulation when the protests broke out, castigating him and his administration for the decision, apparently to look good before the people.

He said in the 194-page book: “State governors of the main opposition party, some of whom were champions of the subsidy removal in our meetings on the matter, made a volta face.”
