Recently, there had been a disturbing inconsistency in the statements by the President and the ruling party, PDP, which creates a credibility baggage for it.

President Goodluck Jonathan, on March 19, had announced categorically at the Nigerian Summit 2013, organised by The Economist Conferences in Lagos that his government would certainly remove fuel subsidy eventually. His argument was that subsidy constituted a waste of resources that should be channeled elsewhere. The presidential announcement, expectedly, triggered off spontaneous reactions across the land, with organized labour all riled up. Continue reading “Jonathan, PDP’s deceit strategy Share This”
