President Goodluck Jonathan has at no time pretended to be the leader we sought after. No. For me, it was not a surprise at all. It is even more undignifying for a President to begin to play hide and seek in a matter that is of national import. It is rather a shame. We were meant to understand that the subsidy removal was to take effect in April just for us to get Jonathan’s baptism of inhumanity in the wake of New Year. What a great gift.

Tam David-West, the former Petroleum Minster has always described the so-called subsidy as fraudulent and non existent, one then wonders what the drive is to cause untold hardship to Nigerians by President Jonathan and his westernised cabinet members. The palliatives planned by the Federal Government are rather comical because they are coming at a time the Federal Government had already imposed a rib-crushing tax on petroleum products. It is better seen as tax because at no time was there any subsidy.
