Buhari Deceived Us, Goodluck Jonathan Meant Well For Us – Nigerians Spit Venom

Following the removal of fuel subsidy by the
Nigerian government, Nigerians are now to buy
fuel at an outrageous price of N145.
Nigerians would have to buy fuel at N145 a
litre, following the removal of fuel subsidy.
Until the removal which was made on
Wednesday, May 11, the official price of
petrol was N87 per litre although consumers
have been paying as much as N200 for fuel
due to scarcity.
Nigerians have taken to social media,
raising their voices in anger against the new
development. For many, it is a big slap on
their faces. They claim that they have been
ripped-off, for them, this was not the
change they were promised.
Below are comments made by Nigerians on
social media, in reaction to the new pump
price.
Jerry Ike Udeh said: “Where is silly Tam David
West that said fuel pump price will be 40naira if
Buhari win election, I am just sorry for the poor
masses.”
According to Ofonime Sam Uwem, Goodluck
meant well for this country (Nigeria). “If
Buhari can concede to the removal of fuel subsidy
which he claimed he knew nothing about and
doesn’t know who was subsidizing who… then I
think he is very smart as well for being able to
deceive his gullible followers that subsidy was
fraud,” Ofonime opined.
Emem Emmanuel said: “Naija how una see am. I
hope the 45% gullible people in in this country will
wake up now and stop calling sai baba in their
sleep. Imagine even fuel is unaffordable now even
when there’s no money to buy it. God help
Nigeria.”
“I dnt know the kind of government we have this
time around, selling fuel N145 Will it solve the
Nigerian problem, how much re u paying workers?
How much is minimum wage? There is no atom of
reasoning,” Festus Ikwuka lamented.
Patrick Offor was of the opinion that “All
Buhari supporters will ever be comfortable with it.
They will say it’s a measure to uplift the economy
of the country. But they took to the streets when
GEJ did the same. I hope things don’t get
tougher.”
For Chidosky Chidi, voting for APC was his
biggest mistake, one which he says he now
regrets.
Obinna Chukwu advised that “Buhari should
humble himself and ask Jonathan how he managed
to keep dollar at 180 against the naira, how he
managed to improve the electricity supply, how he
managed to stabilise fuel price without scarcity,
how he managed to curb inflation among others.”
“I am sure Jonathan as a patriotic citizen will be
willing to assist him,” Chidi concluded.
Chima Chukwujekwu lamented saying: “In this
economic hardship, Mr President I thought u said
that you feel the pain of the masses and now you
are creating more pains, I weep for my nation.”
Taking a twist to the situation, Temitope
Abiodun said: “This is the best time for the NLC
to go on strike to protest, should Buhari refuses to
accede to the N56k minimum wage proposal!”
Olakunle Ogundare said he is “Waiting for what
occupy Nigeria will say? Yea NLC time for show
lets here your side just the same way you did in
2012. Failure to hear from you would tell how
hypocritical NLC and associate were in 2012.”
