Former Minister of Petroleum Resources Prof. Tam David-West has called on President Goodluck Jonathan and Minister of Finance Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala to resign their positions.
David-West spoke at a rally at the University of Ibadan (UI) yesterday. Labour leaders and activists have been leading the protest in the city since Monday.
The former minister said the President and the minister lied to Nigerians by pledging withdrawal of subsidy in April. He insisted that the President and Dr. Okonjo-Iweala took Nigerians for a ride by their decision.
According to him, Nigerians have been subsidising the rich who own mansions in Nigeria and abroad and continue to get national merit awards from the Federal Government.
He maintained that the government should revamp the refineries, adding that infrastructure must also be developed, in addition to job creation initiatives.
David-West explained that the majority of those protesting are youths who are unemployed and unsure of their future because of corruption and inefficiency in government.
Also at the rally were former National President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mr Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN) and State Coordinator, the Joint Action Front (JAF), Dr Demola Aremu and several labour leaders.
