Subsidy Removal: Buhari, APC Owe Jonathan Apology, Says Lawmaker by crudeoilagent: 7:33am On May 15, 2016 |
For inciting protests against the removal of fuel subsidy in 2012 on the grounds that it was an anti-people policy, and now turning around to remove the same subsidy, President Muhammadu Buhari and the members of the All Progressives Congress have been told that they owe former President Goodluck Jonathan an apology. This is the position of the lawmaker representing Ukwa Federal Constituency of Abia state in the House of Representatives, Hon. Uzoma Nkem-Abonta (PDP), who accused Buhari of having taken a destructive position in 2012 without reasoning and economic analysis. Abonta however expressed his support for the removal, but called for a total deregulation of the sector, passage and implementation of the Petroleum Industry Bill. Several members of the opposition party have already berated the Buhari administration for campaigning with promises that he would not increase the price of fuel, and not keeping the promise. Speaking with THISDAY, Abonta also accused the seventh House of Representatives of playing the script of those who wanted Jonathan to fail with the resolution against the removal in 2012. “They occupied Nigeria in 2012. What changed between 2012 and now causing the increase? That means they were ignorant and lacked political reasoning. The criticized Jonathan out of trying to condemn him. Those who surround him (Buhari) misled Nigerians using the Labour movement. Lai Mohammed was one of those who occupied Nigeria. What would he say now?” Abonta said. “I hope the eighth assembly would do the right thing and let the removal stay, although those at the helm now all canvassed against it, now they should tell Nigerians sorry,” he added. Abonta, who is also the Chairman of the Committee on Public Petitions, advised that the money saved from the removal of subsidy should be invested through a clear economic agenda, which he noted the current government lacks. He urged Buhari to consult those who ran the economy under President Jonathan, particularly Dr. Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala, whose polices managed to keep the dollar at N160 for several years. 1 Like |

Some of these clowns are laughable. Where and how do they make these folks Not surprised. I personally think that the SW need to send a troublemaker to the National Assembly to call out all the BS always coming out of the place. 1 Herdsmen men are not fulani 2 They are not there to spread poverty 3 transformation agenda Many of the lawmakers there right now are sedentary low quality folks who ride into power on other people's coat tails. Are we talking about the Jonathan who manufactured kerosine subsidy to steal $6 billion. |

Scholes007: There was no looting, yet people are returning money. There was not looting yet revelation in the court, as witness. Even the director that was convicted for stealing pension is not conviction. |

Scholes007: Who has denied .....you want court to pass juddegment yet you employ delay tactics Did metuh deny 400million in his account what about Badeh? What about dasuk what about America? Even global fund asked buhari to probe the missaproprtion of funds meant to fight hiv! I mean who has renowned not rrcievong large sums, is it the md of fidelity bank or sterling? You guys complain that the economy is bad, you forget that the previous admosnostration bled the economy dry, have you asked yourself how state governments both pdp and apc would have survieved without the bailout funds? Where thisbdebts incurred when buharis or Jonathan was president how much was crude how much is it now |

banki:I am not interested on people dancing around their own drum beats, like i said the is no conviction or what ever yet from anyone in clear and formal scene. All allegations and statements made so far are coming from only one source, the efcc. Even at that they have not brought out a sound and authentic source that will indicate such scandal, all they do is play their own song, dance to it and at same time rate their performance. |

The Reality of Nigeria is: PDP is The Landlord while APC is The Tenant. The Tenant wants CHANGE to be in CHARGE. Landlord drives the Tenant for CHANGE and closes the Tenant operational Base. The Tenant is unwilling/unable to go back to Base and now living as TOUT in the Street with no where to spread and sell his wears. And now NLC wants N56000 monthly wage from a Tenant who is unemployed. The Tenant wants to pay N145 per litre of Fuel instead of the N97 per litre originally set by the Landlord before he got in CHARGE and many more. Please, I am asking, who really is to blame in all these situations? |

APC is fast loosing their credibility. They need to criticize Jonathan gov bt themselves so they don't make same mistakes. No govt is a saint by default until dey prove it to us. |
