The traitors (NLC) have now seen that they have been fooled. 



The stage appeared set for another round of showdown between President Goodluck Jonathan and labour unions on the issue of fuel subsidy with labour on Tuesday asking the Federal Government to revert the pump price of petrol to N65 per litre.

The Nigeria Labour Congress and the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria said the Jonathan administration had no option other than to reverse the price from its present N97 to the old N65 per litre since the President had said he was rethinking the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment programme.

Jonathan on Monday reportedly told chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party at their  58th National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja that implementation of the palliatives to cushion the effects of subsidy removal were no longer feasible.

The President said the palliatives had been based on the 100 per cent removal of subsidy on local consumption of fuel.
“This (SURE) is developed with the expectation that we were going to completely deregulate the Downstream sector of the oil industry, the 100 per cent removal of subsidy… we will still come up with a document based on what we get,” he told the PDP members and ordered them to withdraw the circulated SURE document.

The SURE programme had been hurriedly designed in January to douse the tension generated by the sudden removal of subsidy and consequent jump in the pump price of petrol.

The Senate has said it is backing the action of the President. Leader of the Senate, Victor Ndoma-Egba, said Jonathan made the plans based on zero-subsidy arrangement and for which the 2012 budget was prepared.

“The President said he wanted to remove subsidy, Nigerians said they don’t want it removed. Now that he was not able to realise his plan, where will he get the money to carry out that policy,” Ndoma-Egba said.
He, however, stated that the President would still need to work with the savings made from the partial removal of subsidy.

“The President will have to look at the proceeds from partial deregulation and work with what is saved. That is the reason why the document earlier produced should be revised to reflect the current realities,” he said.
Apart from the NLC and the ASCN, the House of Representatives also on Tuesday took a swipe at the President and said it was vindicated concerning its pessimism over the government palliatives.

The Acting General Secretary of the NLC, Mr. Owei Lakemfa, in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents on Tuesday said  the Federal Government  had no option but to revert the fuel pump price from the current N97 to the pre-2012 pump price of fuel.

He said that a recent advertisement in a national daily in which the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, claimed that the Federal Government realised N15b allocation from the proposed subsidy savings supported the claim that the Federal Government was making some money from the regime change in the pump price of fuel and that the funds realised from the fuel price increase should be adequately utilised to execute projects.

According to Lakemfa, the Federal Government is only trying to prepare the minds of Nigerians against expecting results from the increase in the pump price of petrol in the country by announcing the withdrawal of the programme.
He urged the government to fulfil its promise to use the proceeds of fuel price increase to construct roads, build a second Niger bridge, and other promises contained in the SURE document.

He said that the Nigerian citizenry was seriously interested in what the Federal Government could do with the proceeds from the increase in the pump price of petroleum products.
He called on the Federal Government to ensure that the Ministries of Petroleum and Finance were cleansed based on the serious discoveries made at the Subsidy Probe by the House of Representatives.

“Right from the onset, organised labour believed that the Federal Government was not sincere with this programme but the government claimed that we were going to get results in six months. What government is saying now is that we should not expect results,” the NLC scribe said.
Also, the House of Representatives said that it was not surprised that the President withdrew its promised fuel subsidy removal palliatives.

The House noted that the development vindicated its opposition to the SURE programme, particularly the “hurried manner” the executive introduced the document without consulting the National Assembly.
The Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Zakari Mohammed, explained that the legislature had consistently held the view that Nigerians needed to be consulted on the programme.
He added, “We have been vindicated because we had initially opposed the hurried manner the SURE document was put together.

“We were saying that the funds for this programme needed to be properly appropriated by the National Assembly and more so that we needed to have the details of the programme.”
Mohammed, however, commended Jonathan for realising that something went wrong and retracing his steps.
The Minority Leader of the House, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, who shared the same view, told a reliable source in Abuja that the palliatives were a “dummy right from the start.”

He argued that the President was merely attempting to “pull the wool” over the faces of  Nigerians by promising palliatives that were theirs by right.

Gbajabiamila stated, “Under Section 17 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), government is mandated to provide the same services it has promised as palliatives.
“The issues of health, transport and all that; these are the fundamental duties that government owes the citizenry.

“You cannot give me what rightly belongs to me in the guise of palliatives, while taking away the subsidy that I ought to enjoy.
“So, I am not surprised that they have decided to withdraw it; it was a dummy that I never ever bought.”
   [b]Criticising the President, the National Publicity Secretary of the CPC, Mr. Rotimi Fashakin, said the administration was not committed to responsible governance.

  “All along, as a party,  we knew the idea of SURE was a knee-jerk response to the people’s protest and not a well thought-out intervention to stymie the dire impoverishment of the people,” Fashakin said.
President, Campaign for Democracy,  Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin, said it was evident from the outset that  Jonathan was not committed to the implementation of the SURE programme.

“They never meant it (SURE). It was just propaganda to make people swallow poison. Corruption still persists so how can anyone trust the regime to implement SURE. Cosmetic palliatives can never cushion any effect,” she said.
The Secretary-General of ASCSN and founding Secretary-General of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, Mr. Solomon Onaghinon, in an interview with one of our correspondents said, “There is social crisis in Nigeria.”

He said, “There were no palliatives in the first place; I have always said that those palliatives do not make sense because government said they would be paying salaries on the 20th of every month but have they paid? There is no palliative.
“For those people who really listened carefully, they would have known that there was no palliative. If the President said the palliatives are no longer feasible, let him bring the fuel price back to N65 per litre.”

The Mistake He made was Direct Announcement,

50% Implementation should be OK based on What we Realize,

I think He Should re-address the Nation based on his comment on Monday

Mr president."SURE" can still go on.I know you just stated the reasons why you doubt it could work.You' were not expecting less than 100percent.Why not make good use of the one in hand.Then plug corruption holes.If that can drive 50% only of the project proposed atleast you would have built a case how the removal has served people and why more of the subsidy be scrapped.All this projects can't happen in a day.So Use what you have and move on or split the project and do what you can honestly with what has being acquired.It should atleast do something worth referring too.
Later make a case for more suggesting the glory of just 50%!!! You can do it if you want.Be courageous.

Is something wrong with many Nigerians that they just like telling lies? Demdem, please explain.
These are the Presidents exact words about the brochure in circulation:

GEJ: [size=14pt]“As I came in I saw this SURE book being distributed, we are withdrawing it, this is the old one. We developed this with the expectation that we are going to completely deregulate the down stream of the oil industry, the 100 per cent removal of subsidy. You know we could not achieve that though there is increase in the pump price, so this has to be adjusted. I don’t want this thing to be distributed.

“It will give a wrong impression when we say that Jonathan’s government  promised  so and so.  We are working on a new document based on reality.”[/size]

Now, why do some of you like lying?

^
Your so-called credible report fits in with the lies you have been telling since yesterday. So, why would a grown man wake up in the morning to lie, sir?
I am deeply flummoxed. Why do you GEJ haters strongly feel the need to lie?

Its a mystery! Lol!

Demdem:

The only confirmed LIAR on this forum is you sir. That is an undisputed fact. there is no way i can dethrone u. All hail Liar BEAF!!!!
its obvious u have nothing to say, kindly vamoose please and let others express their opinion. Yours is noted, thanks.

Whatever you say. Carry on, sir!
You are only making a mockery of yourself.

How can a grown man revel so much in telling lies, especially so early in the day? Na wa o!
Can you please explain how a call for an inaccurate brochure to be withdrawn has led to this mountain of lies? Maybe scientists need to research this, it could be another step in evolution or the reverse. Kai!

Amusing shiit.

I guess its time for occupy Nigeria part 2.

was d 'SURE' programme really stopped or being reviewed?

This NLC leaders are something else. Someone budgets to invest on income of N76 and eventually you forced him to reduce the income to N34 and you still want him to spend on his initial budget of N76 income. Is he going to steal the remaining N42? Funny how these people reason. The president said he is working on the new plan on N34 he is getting now and not to deceive you with his former budget on N76 which is no longer realistic and you are showing your fuulishness by saying president should revert to N65 pump price.

All these people are jokers and seriously confused fellows.

Funkymallam:

I suggest the NLC leaders should do the occupying themselves since they betrayed the masses in the part 1 of it,seriously anyone who decides to occupy anything again will be the biggest f00l ever.

Those Pharisees sold out for change money, and now that the breeze has started to lift their skirts up, they want to start acting the good guys. Lets wait and see, Jonathan should go ahead with his plans, Bleep these NLC arseholes.

Funkymallam, that is not completely so. instead it was the retardeen that sent the soldiers with their amour tanks to chase people from the streets especially in Lagos where the protest was very successful. NLC isnt to be trusted again and thats the fact.

Besides i am tired of all these useless programs the retardeen is talking about, sure-P/Sure-P remix etc. in a situation where even elements from this govt are saying that the whole thing is shredded in fraudulent portions is disheartening.
Anyone close to the retardeen should kindly ask him to FFuck all these nonsense sure-p shiit and fullfill all his promises before the elections. Just like someone said, crude is now selling at a high price now and he has increased fuel prices so he has more than enough money to give fullfill his promises for Nigerians.
GEJ, forget all these sure-nonsense and fulfill ur campaign promises. why is this so difficult to do. Below are some of it:



1. You Promised to rule for only one term (reference http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12339017)
As a man of your words or rather as you want to make us believe, PLEASE stick to this plan and pledge.
I sincerely hope we will not have political jobbers, groups like Youths Earnestly Ask for Jonathan, Dbanj, Lagbaja, Sunny Ade all singing for your second term bid? I sincerely hope also, you will not come out and openly deny you didn’t make such promise or statements as you did about the zoning saga.

2. You promised a constitutional role for Traditional Rulers!!! I am short of words but Nigerians are waiting

3. On March 17th 2011, in Dutse the Jigawa state capital, you promised:"If I win the election, within my four years in office, I will establish domestic airports in all the states without airports, WE ARE WAITING.

Also you pledged to boost agriculture, power and water supply for wealth creation and revenue generation.

Then you promised that your administration would establish two universities in the region. The NORTH EAST PEOPLE ARE WAITING,

9. You landed in Port harcourt on Feb 12 where you made alot of promises, maybe to woo your Niger Delta people. Be that as it may, you announced that the NNPC, in partnership with the private sector, would establish a petrochemical plant in the Niger Delta (you didn’t state where exactly). You promised the plant will create job opportunities for the Niger Delta youths. Then you went ahead to promise the implementation of Local Content Law and Petroleum Industry Bill. In case you can’t remember when you made all these, cast your mind back to the stampede that claimed some lives (where your wife called them martyrs).

10. In Kaduna- You promised massive transformation of the agricultural sector through construction of large dams and distribution of one million metric tonnes of fertilizers for the 2011 farming season (The rains are here already, so fulfill your promises o)
You also pledged to establish Almajiri model schools to address the challenges of the Almajiris.

11. In Benue-You promised to revolutionize agriculture and establish industries in the country through a five-year plan (We need that Plan now so we can keep track, the five years have started counting already)

You also promised to complete the irrigation project in Otukpo. Then you promised that the second Niger Bridge and the Benue Bridge projects will be worked on in the next four years. I think it’s better to start now so by April 2015, we trust you would have completed it.

12. February 17th, you were in Plateau where you made shocked the entire country with amazing promises. First of all, you pledged to refocus on the solid mineral development of the state and make it one of the key revenue sources in Nigeria. The Plateau people are banking on you.
Mr President, You promised to build more dams and complete ongoing ones, so as to boost agricultural growth.

In addtion you promised to complete the Vom-Manchok-Jos road to boost economic links between Plateau and Kaduna states. You left the state and the Plateau people have been happy ever since and now that you have won, they are waiting

13. Mr President on Feb 21, you were in Kogi. You promised among other things promised that the dredging of the River Niger and Lokoja-Abuja road dualisation would be completed very soon. THE KOGI PEOPLE AND INDEED NIGERIANS ARE HOPING AND WAITING

14. In Kwara State on Feb22, you pledged that the irrigation project in Shonga would be completed soon to boost the commercial farming activities of the New Nigeria Farmers in the area. Mr president, remember you also said the Jebba-Mokwa road and Jebba bridge would be given adequate attention to ease transportation in the area. Kwarians are waiting!

15. On February 24, Mr. President, you pledged to rehabilitate ALL ailing industries in Aba. I believe all Abians are hoping on you to provide the enabling environment to do their businesses, you must keep your promises,

16. Mr.President, on Feb 25th in Anamabra you said there is a plan to build a power station in the state, assuring that within the next four years your administration would construct and rehabilitate ALL federal roads leading to Anambra as well as the South East. You equally to provide potable water to the densely populated Onitsha and Nnewi cities and tackle erosion in the South-East. To tell you the truth, Mr. President, Anambrians are banking on you!

17. In Ebonyi state, you promised to dualise the Enugu-Abakaliki federal highway in addition to establishing a secretariat for ALL Federal government's agencies and parastatals in Ebonyi. Mr. president, The people of Ebonyi has never had it so good since the creation of their state. Now, you have promised them the good life. Please keeep to your words!

18. In Niger state, you promised the more power generation. Perhaps the most important aspect of your promises is that your government would map out a five-year strategic plan for road projects. (Please we are waiting for the Plan NOW!!!!)

19. On Feb 27, you were in Asaba, the Delta state capital. On that fateful Sunday, you revealed that “The NNPC is developing a new programme that will absorb about 5,000 youths, ”, Mr. President, Deltans are delighted at this REVELATIONS. While that number is a far cry from the number of unemployed youths in the state, at all at all na winch (as they say in Warri), so Deltans are waiting.

20. On March 2nd, you were in Ondo where you pronmised that roads and other basic infrastructure across the states will be developed in four years. In addition you also promised the exploitation of the vast bitumen deposits in the state for national economic development and employment generation. The Ondo people are waiting. Your Four years have started already. You must start now.

21. On the same day, March 2nd, your campaigbn train was in Ekiti state. While there, you promised that more than N50 billion federal intervention projects were ongoing in the state. You can be rest assured that the Fayemi and indeed the entire Ekiti kete are waiting for you.

22. On March 9th, in Sokoto, you promised to rehabilitate the abandoned Shagari irrigation project as well as reviving the nation’s rail system and fight the menace of desertification in the country. Sokoto people have sufffered for too long. This is your time to redeem your pledge, Mr President. The clock is ticking!!!

23.The date was March 12th 2011 and you were in Ogun state.
Remember, the day you rode to Abeokuta through rail?

Yes, That was the day you promised an improved power supply before the end of the year through the Integrated Power Project (IPP) initiative.

You also pledged to build more refineries, encourage downstream activities, resuscitate rail transportation and create jobs. In case you have forgotten, that was the day that Gbenga Daniel (your South West campaign coordinator was booed by the Ogun people).

24.On March 14th, your campaign trained moved to Kebbi where you promised to establish a federal university next year (2012). You also promised to create jobs through science and technology, tackle environmental challenges and boost health care delivery.

25.Katsina, was your port of call on March 15 where you promised to enhance the living standard of Nigerians through implementation of people-oriented programmes that would provide citizens the necessary opportunities to realise their potentials.

In my opinion, this was just mere rhetorics as you did not make any concrete promises. or did you have the premonition, you will lose in Katsina? I might just be right.

26.In Kano, you pledged to resuscitate the nation’s power sector and encourage the development of small and medium scale enterprises in the country while ensuring justice, equity and fair play in the polity.

Mr.President, Space and Time will not allow me to list the deluge of promises in Lagos, Osun, Borno, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Imo, Taraba, Jigawa, Edo, Bayelsa and Zamfara states. If you can accomplish all your promises in the next four years, then you will go down memory lane as the best President ever. I’m all honesty, I wish you GoodLuck!!!

Please take note that the price of crude oil is presently rising far beyond the benchmark: $121/barrel. More money for the government. This we will not hear.

we are not hearing anything about this. No transparency, nobody is being held accountable, embezzlement is a free for all thing at the federal level now.

NLC/TUC's case is liken to that of Esau who sold his birthright and who later sought for it with tears to no avail.

Labour, you had your chance to etch your name and values on the canvas of the hearts of Nigerians but you bungled it, YOU HAVE FOREVER LOST YOUR RELEVANCE! Nigerians will never heed your battle cry again,

what are you talking about, the price being reduced and sure being formed all happened in a week, why didn't they make their plan on N34 then, why did it take them a month to realise that.

holahabib:

The subsidy is fixed to the price of oil. So when the oil price rises, so does the subsidy. Oga, why do you think you keep hearing that the economy has grown by 8%, but you keep seeing poverty increasing?
When the oil price rises, it mainly benefits the marketers who go to the bank with fatter subsidies. Whether prices are high or low, the marketers win and you lose.

GEJ saw the shiit that was going on and how the system was set up to pay a few, while the rest of us go hungry; so he ordered the removal of the subsidy and those that either think through their arses or get info from the akara sellers rumour spot took to the streets to protest in favour of the marketers. Talk about being blind and shooting oneself in the foot.

Now the same GEJ is saying he doesn't want to see the old SURE document being circulated, because it would amount to deceiving people which he doesn't want to do; the vultures in the NLC and on NL have started screaming for him to tell lies as if they are going to supply the difference between N141 and N97 for the SURE programme. The new SURE programme has to be N44 per litre less than the old SURE. That is common sense.

As someone pointed out before, what about the savings from the excess 24million liters that was discovered during the subsidy panel.
