“Against all informed pieces of advice, even from well-informed industry insiders and analysts, President Jonathan approved the removal of fuel subsidy and went ahead to defend it. Well, the President is human and therefore can also be wrong. But when he is, as it has now been proved, he should be humble enough to admit it and apologize,” the party said yesterday in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
It said after the apology, the President should then revert the fuel price to the pre-January price of 65 kobo per litre and then proceed to implement the recommendations of the committee without delay, especially the prosecution of all indicted persons and companies.
ACN also said whether or not the committee recommended such, the President should fire all those who advised -or misadvised – him on the fuel subsidy issue, especially the officials who wasted public funds in organising the charade called stakeholders’ meetings which, as it turned out, was an orchestrated scam, as the decision to remove the subsidy had already been taken.
President Jonathan
“In more-civilized climes, those who bandied spurious figures to Nigerians and hinted that the economy would collapse if the subsidy was not removed – would by now have tendered their resignations – with apologies – over the discovery that what the government has been subsidizing over the years are corruption and inefficiency, not fuel.
“The sectional groups who threw their weight behind the fuel subsidy removal, for no other reason than that the President is their ‘son’, should also have repeated the adverts they placed in the newspapers, but this time repudiating their earlier adverts and apologizing to Nigerians.
Take your time to read this and see how some few people plays with 150million Nigerian. If only they will agree to reverse the pump price back to N65 since the truth is out. And Ngozi Iwaela & Diesani Alison-Madueke should shamefully resign.

i think they should be commended for taking the bold step by trying to remove the rotten meat ( these guys saw the loophole milking the economy and they decided to bloke it once and for all!!.....if there wasn't subsidy removal, i don't think there would have been any probe in the first instance, hence no secrete would have been revealed).........lets not be myopic abt this issue, these guys are working and to me ooooo....they deserve commendation
