That's politics for you. GEJ was a weak leader, and the opposition even though knew subsidy had to go used it against him.

Now you all know that Tinubu is extremely intelligent. He is the master of the game called Nigerian politics.

His intelligence was also used in splitting PDP into 3 (divide and conquer) just before the elections). Reno once said Tinubu has the face of a slow person, but he is extremely intelligent.

Was he weak or empathetic and understanding

Does it mean again, one does not change his position on a matter over time? All these past references are annoying.

“Who is subsidizing who?” Now, Nigeria have so much accumulated humongous debts from monies embezzled under his government disguised as paying subsidy under his watch.

"How Buhari spent N8trn on ‘non-existent’ petrol subsidies"
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/05/how-buhari-spent-n8trn-on-non-existent-petrol-subsidies/

Then one is tempted to ask what was Buhari, Tinubu, and co thinking in 2014 when they organised Ojota and Abuja "occupy/save Nigeria" protests based on lies and propaganda to demonise a government that meant Nigeria well on this same issue? Blood wicked hypocrites

bjdon:
it is very easy to look back now, with the benefit of hindsight and say all who protested in 2011 were wrong and dishonest, but let's just take a moment and reflect on that event.
I still maintain that while removal of fuel subsidy was economically desirable, the way the GEJ administration tried to go about it, was very insensitive. To remove fuel subsidy in the middle of the Christmas celebrations was an immoral action. We all know the expenses people incur at the end of year, how could they think that was a morally right thing to do?
Of course the opposition seized on it and lead the protests, that's what oppositions do. The ultimate responsibility for that sad event lies with GEJ and his advisors.
Just to be clear, I am in no way shape or form an APC supporter, I think they are a cancer on the Nigerian state, but that does not mean we should not tell the truth at all times

The shiit should av gone then I guess Alot of people just followed the crowd den they don't know the meaning of what theyre protesting against..

A society where you've more illiterate than literate expect people been easily brainwashed even the literate act like illiterate....

Imagine this 2023 people can't go online du dere study on each Candidate profile buh waiting for derr Pastor and Alfa to tell them who to vote..

I don't blame the people who participated in that exercise as they were ill informed at the time and were desperate for good governance. My only shock is that certain people have not learned from the experience. They still misconstrue propaganda as facts due to their religious affiliations and ethnocentric attachment. What qualifies you a human if you can't think for yourself? This is the reason why the government is able to scam us and get away with it because of such individuals

Pythagoras001:
unfortunately I was also part of that protest. I galvanised my siblings and my mum. my dad was the only person who didn’t buy into it. he kept warning us until he gave up because it was him against many. same thing with buhari election. I have come to realise that having university degree does not necessarily equate with wisdom or been immune from the ability to be deceived or gullible. critical and rational thinking skills are lacking in our school systems. less than one year after buhari first term I realize it was all part of a well designed fraudulent scam to win the 2015 elections.

removing jega would have been the solution, and using brute force on any body trying to truncate his emergence would have also been a solution.

nairalanda1:


Because Tinubu, like all Nigerian politicians, wanted to get into power.

It is an old trick most politicians use. Align yourself with a popular agitation/anger, make use of a crisis....and it will pay off long term.

That is why Buhari and Tinubu joined the protests, and made themselves seen. They were playing the long game.

Politics is a game. Winners know how to play it well. Even if it means using Machiavellian methods.

God Bless you, Sir!👍

That February 2012, Many Nigerians were Struggling Financially and Jonathan's Timing was Wrong.
Nigerians were right to go on that Occupy Nigeria Protest.🙂

Jonathan was just Weak as a Leader and he was a CHRISTIAN SS President.

Tinubu (Yoruba Muslim) and Tambuwal (Hausa/FULANI) who were Unhappy with that situation
Took advantage of the Situation to plan for 2015.!😒

ezechi242:
jonathan was too weak for a Nigerian leader, he had every aparatus at his disposal to dismantle every nonsense the APC was planning, but no, he wants to be a gentleman in Nigerian politics.

besides his 6 years tenure was filled with corruption and insecurities, what nigerians never saw before.....i would say GEJ was actually the root cause of where we are now.

Faceonme1443:
You people should understand that it was PDP led federal government that introduced subsidy, People were saying that why did they introduced subsidy in the first place,so a Jonathan or any president under PDP will have a problem trying to remove subsidy while same cannot be said of an APC led government.

Global2000:
I have been shouting, ranting on top of my voice. Somebody who just want to become only president without any planned agenda. Tinubu is another disaster. I go dey smile when e go dey pain una.

yaki84:

Gej had all the apparatuses to dismantle what...

God made him not to so we can experience the messiah's Nigerians wanted.
At least God used Buhari to dismantle the workings of PDP...

Let's all celebrate jagaban please...

At least for once we experienced a strong and tough leader.
