This was contained in a press statement signed by Amb. Arerebo Salaco Yerinmene Peters. President, CITA and Comrade Obiri Wenebokefe Jonathan, Spokesman, CITA.
CITA said that these professed patriots incited and led Nigerians to protest against the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit.
“They blatantly criticised this policy of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan as a sheer scam targeted at unleashing untold hardship to the average Nigerian and sponsored protests and demonstrations which even led to the death of some Nigerians.
“We are berserkly puzzled that these same persons who feigned patriotism and advocacy for social justice turned a new leaf and now pioneer and celebrate the removal of fuel subsidy under President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Have they become proponents of a new school of thought? Was their disenchantment with the removal of fuel subsidy under Dr. Goodluck Jonathan triggered by sentiments of ethnic and political differences?
“Was the Save Nigeria Group a sheep covering veiling a calculated synergy to make Nigeria ungovernable for Dr. Goodluck Jonathan?
“It is crystal clear that the emotions of a great chunk of naïve and gullible Nigerians were incited and their passions ignited to fight against the success of the Nigerian Federal Government under a peace loving and law abiding democratic President tagging it as being anti-people.
“On behalf of the foregoing, we direct the Save Nigeria Group and its leaders and members to tender an unreserved apology to Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

DeleteAs usual from SS the Buharimaniac troll!
DeleteThey have already buried their faces in Shame.The unusual silence of these self acclaimed Activists lend credence to their Partisan politics antics...The "Change" has now become a "Shame"...May God save the Nation.Well,as events are unfolding...
ReplyDeleteThey must tender unreserved apology to gentleman Goodluck Ebele Jonathan if they are real men.
ReplyDeleteThese people have a reason for keeping quite now because the move to deregulate now is justifiable as the nation is suffering from dwindling foreign exchange.
ReplyDeleteMoreso, the government have little money to pursue other easy alternatives in the face of dwindling crude oil revenue and pipeline vandalism. During Jonathan era,
he had enormous income from crude oil to pursue other easier alternatives but Jonathan chose the hard one while heavy corruption was going on and his cronies were
busy siphoning money. Nigerian rejected at that time because it was not justifiable. Am sure path of the reasons why you have been blowing pipelines and
frustrating the government is to try to prove Jonathan's attempt to deregulate right. Nigerians are not gullible. We stand with Buhari.
Stories. What sacrifices have they made? None whatsoever. Their own is to tax the masses because their "budget" money is threatened.
DeleteGood one my friend! those are the things we should be asking for esp from the senate. Accountability and lean government. We should ask for dynamic taxing. The tax rate during a quarter should be dependent on the amount of infrastructure upgrade in the previous quarter. Nigerians should start talking and demanding things that are more realistic.
DeleteAnonymous 6:12 u go mumu forever. May God help u to be wise.
ReplyDeleteMr MumuForEver@7:39, you are one of the multitude of Nigerians that have little or no understanding of the economy. You act like shameless opportunists that
ReplyDeletemust be spoon fed by the government and cry like a baby and blame the government when things not alright. You all lay about and expect government to do magic in
hard times while your government loot you dry in good times. Foolish mind cannot comprehend wisdom but continues to pride itself as wise. Goodluck to you.
Common sense is not always common. Subsidy is function of export earnings from crude. If it is favourable, it is rational that we share in the profits since we have refused to develop a national railway to alleviate the transport challenges. If the global price is low, government cannot give what it hasn't. Unlike during Jonathan's time when growth was 6% and above, we now have less than 3%. Subsidy removal is therefore in order.
ReplyDelete** Can someone please explain why the dates and time above are not real time? I am lost.
Stories. They should give us 50% of their salaries, car allowances and all the fat benefits they refused to give up and even increased sef. That is the real bitter pill that should be swallowed. Nonsense.
DeleteAll these are all excuses, Huhari should have thought of all these before promising heaven and earth. So far, Buhari has failed completely.
ReplyDelete@9:42, you have a point there but remember that no one expected the US oil production will surge all of a sudden because of advanced exploration technology. And the promises have been made well before the oil price started to fall.
ReplyDeleteWe want new refinery. YES But it will take 2 years to build at least one.
ReplyDeleteWe also want POWER, WATER, ROAD, MINIMUM WAGE and GOOD HOSPITAL ETC at the same time......we should not forget that FG revenue generation is low as CRUDE OIL is the only source to generate the revenue. WE ALL KNOW THE CURRENT TRADE RATE NOW.
Let us analyse the situation OF 16 YEAR OF PDP:
4 YEARS = 1 NEW REFINERY...We should have 4 new refinery by now.
INSTEAD, we have NO NEW REFINERY + THE EXISTING REFINERY NOT WORKING for 16 years.Other facilities were not also there.
CRUDE OIL RATE PRICE IS AT LEAST $120.
NOW, consider NIGERIA as your OWN COMPANY with the situation above. WHAT ELSE COULD YOU HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
IT IS TOUGH AND HARD BUT WE CANT DENY THE REALITY.
Incoherent nonsense with no point or suggestion.
DeleteLet us not cover EVIL also EVIL should not be used as an EXCUSES.
ReplyDeleteMy friend shut up...you are the evil here...
