When APC government officials lacks idea of governance, they will start blaming Jonathan and PDP because Jonathan's punishment is because he left power to APC unchallenged.

No. It's because Jonathan's incompetence almost destroyed Nigeria. Jonathan refused to removed petrol subsidy because his PDP friends were the major beneficiaries and because he didn't want to be unpopular before the elections such that he even left us with long queues. He refused to approve the increase in electricity tarrifs because he also didn't want to be unpopular before elections. He let his Petroleume minister plunder the country like tomorrow wouldn't come. He allowed and encouraged his National security Adviser to divert money meant to fight terrorists to his PDP loyalists.
Oga don't get it twisted, Jonathan did not mean you or anyone in this country well. If you believe otherwise then something must be wrong with you.

Why was there #OccupyNigeria protests in 2011??

Jonathan wasn't the best leader (sadly), we hoped Buhari will be better, but it turns out we were wrong(more depressing). We have liars and thieves in the government today.

Buhari's cabinet of incompetent people are still sabotaging Nigerians.

Me lunatic? I'm sorry for you! Within a year of Buhari assuming power, his Minister of Petroleume assembled a meeting with Civil society, Labour and governors in the country and explained in detail why the subsidy had to be removed and everyone agreed that it had to be removed. With the benefit of hindsight, we now know that Jonathan's Ministers of Petroleume and Finance were dishonorable people who couldn't make similar arguments against petrol subsidy because they themselves were beneficiaries of the subsidy. Like I said before, if at this point in Nigeria's history and with almost everything that happened in Jonathan's government almost revealed, if you still believe that Jonathan meant well for Nigeria then you my friend are the real lunatic.

I disagree with you 100%. Who were those protested when Jonathan wanted to remove subsidies? Did you people allowed Jonathan to perform? Who purchased the weapons the military's still using?
How much is Buhari London medical treatment and presidential jet packing lot in London?

Why Jonathan and his government officials didn't blamed their predecessors?

APC and Buhari's government officials have tools to complete their works, yet, blaming the manufacturers because they lacked idea on how to use the tools. SHAME ON YOU, LAZY APC CLUELESS GOVERNMENTS OFFICIALS.

You people just cloud your ignorance and dogmatism with insults. You have absolutely no argument or point. Jonathan went on natuonal TV in January 2011 and announced the removal of petrol subsidy abruptly. No consultation with anyone. Nothing! I was one of the protesters against the subsidy in the ensuing strikes that were called. Jonathan and his corrupt Ministers of Petroleume and Finance then came up with the Sure-p scheme to supposedly "ameliorate" the effects of the fake and fraudulent partial subsidy they effected. As we all know today, that Sure-P scheme was a fraud nationwide as most of the funds were released to the PDP. Buharis government came in and immediately within 1 year made everyone understand that we couldn't have the subsidy. There was consultation and understanding on why the PDP fake subsidy had to be removed. Nigerians agreed and trusted the government. And since then we have had no single incident of petrol queues. No need for Sure-P or anything. Just honesty and trust. Qualities that Jonathan and his fraudster ministers never had.

Raji Fashola I still have faith in you. You can do It!

The day that name wont be called again in nigeria ehn! That day we go wait for am

When you start defending this government, you start acting weird and see Everyone as an enemy.



Look at sarrki today, he is so confused that today he doesn't know if his loyalty lies with APC or Buhari or Tinubu



This government is accelerating the production of Zombies with their Farcical lies that will make aliens to cringe how worthless humans became under a space of two years in Nigeria

That is how one zombie in my state of resident used to made useless nose on radio "NigeriaInfo" precisely. Reality has downed on him, now he can't even spent three minutes calls on any topics. Yet he's ashamed to admit.

Broomsticks now are so much expensive, I wonder what they will use in 2019 campaigns. Please make sure you keep your outside brooms safe you might have one of these APC's zombies in your next door.

Ehiscotch:
But you made a very wrong and costly call.

Everyone whose brain is not dead and decayed know this your comment is not the focus of this post. Even those who are blind know that the purpose is to expose a liar called fashola. How come decoding such simple info becomes so difficult for you?

Ehiscotch:

I admit reading a bit part of the article before commenting. But I still maintain my stand on the fact about Fashola being right about the decision being a poor one.

Your comment still sounds stupid. The focus is not about the rightness or wrongness of the decision; it is about who the stupid fashola blamed for the decision.

ernieboy:

did u even read the article? why should he be jailed when he followed sue process in taking the decisions? fashola is just looking for whom to blame for his incompetence.

I don't think you rather understand me...
If he followed due process in taking the decision, then weather good or bad it means that the then president approved the call in the best interest of his governance...

toolovely:


some people's brain are so programmed that they don't have a right to reason on their own..... there's no explanation you will give to them from now till tomorrow they will understand.....

Fashola is only interested in tarrif hike when the discos are not interested in giving services that corresponds to the price they are asking for....

Can you give this forum without conjectures what it cost get a kw.hr of electricity to each house and what the tariff is today. That's the only information that can make us have a healthy discussion. Then we will know if tariff adjustment is justifiable.

With detailed cost we can suggest where cost can be reduced and significant part transferred to the consumer. Talking without this information is simply like shooting into a dark alley.

These jonathanians and pdp loving losers are just real clowns.

Buhari's appointees do something (e.g. increase electricity tariff or fuel price), they blame and insult Buhari. Now Jonathan's appointee did something, but they dont think it has anything to do with Jonathan; rather they curse out Fashola for daring to mention the name of the man's boss (GEJ) in the matter. #Iberiberism

SBG04:
I've read some disgraceful comments here. We have a former NERC regulator who is admitting that he authorised the reversal in electricity tariffs when Gencos especially were complaining of foreign exchange losses everyday. There was So much debt hanging around the Discos and Gencos as at the time the APC government came in. Minister Fashola recently facilitated the emergence of a N700 Billion emergency cash injection for the power sector in Nigeria. Why? Because tariffs were low and Gencos were not getting any remittance from the Discos. Discos were complaining that they are getting little from consumers because the tariffs were low. And yet we have the ex chair of the regulatory agency coming out to admit he sabotaged the power sector by approving the reducition of tariffs and starving the sector of funds. And some idiots here who have absolutely no idea of what is going on are here calling Fashola names instead of condemning the idiot Amadi. Forgetting that there was no economic, technical or sensible reason for reducing tariffs when they were reduced. It was purely political.
Shameless country!

Good points.

But does he have to drag Jonathan to his responsibility without proper hindsight

And from all indications, Fashola probably has more blame during the that administration than any government..

1.How come he never blamed his predecessor, Bola Tinubu For squandering billions of Lagos state's money on ENRON POWER PROJECT?... That singular action was probably the greatest and grandest fraud of the our democratic experiment but was swept "inside Lagoon"

2.Lagos states had more than enough resources to have had it own INDEPENDENT POWER, but incompetence never allowed it to materialize

Chaiiii see wetin we dey miss,

imagine is dis sir Amadi naim b power minister, we for dey enjoy lite no Mata the money wey wi pay,

Fashola is a noise maker just like Buhari earlier said, he tried to switched to blame mode after discovering that he is failing.

OK lemme c if I understand u so that we can be on the same page, you are saying that since he took the decision under GEJs tenure GEJ by extension should be liable for his decision. if that is correct then let me remind u that the act setting up nerc gives it a certain level of independence in decision making and its decisions do not necessarily need to be approved by the prez. the former nerx chair gave details of how decisions are reaches and it is collectively done by all nerc commissioners not just him alone.

Like I've been trying to point out repeatedly, the level of ignorance on this forum is alarming. It's not just the ignorance, it's the dogmatic ignorance. The blunt refusal to see the light even when the light slaps them right in the face! Lagos has its own IPP project that supplies all general hospitals in the and some other areas 24/7. Street lights in the state are also powered by the IPP.

how was that poor, that they allowed a sector function independently without using force majeure.. Pls enlighten me....

How is telling lies and blaming a previous government a laughing matter? Or what is lol inside what Fashola did?
Someone who tells lies so easily and unnecessarily must be a CORRUPT thief with no INTEGRITY whatsoever.

Oga please stop acting like those foolish senators in the Senate that condemned Fashola for inserting N20billion in the budget for contingencies and then turned around to commend the same person for swiftly moving to repair the damaged bridges that collapsed in Jebba. Where did Fashola get the money from? Was that bridge not an unforseen contingency?
There was no logical, economic, business or sensible reason for reducing tariffs. That stupid Former chair of the NERC just admitted to the rest of Nigeria that he sabotaged the entire country by depriving the power sector of badly needed funds. Instead of condemning the irresponsible man, you're here justifying his stupidity and even praising him for being very "explanatory"
Honestly with the way some Nigerians think you'll just feel like giving up. I wonder how people like Fashola wake up everyday to go to work knowing that all their efforts, worķing for some stupid and foolish Nigerians like the ones here on Nairaland, are all but in vain.

Jonathan this,Jonathan that! Fashola is just a friggin childish, petty amateur. He failed as governor of Lagos despite Tinubu holding his hand like a toddler for 8 years and he has failed woefully as minister. Mike Onolememen his predecessor makes him look like a real gbatueyo

If he is too small for the job he should humbly resign and take his chicken neck back to Lagos quietly. When he was using vermin propaganda rats like Aressa/Eko ile and co on NL and all over social media to hype his tenure in Lagos he no know say big job go come

I will not hold brief for the former nerc chair whether his decisions were bad or good, but since fashola took over the power sector what significant changes has he brought to the power sector? this same tariff that he is about to increase now has been increased before, was there any improvement? so what guarantee do u have that this increment will lead to improved power supply. and for ur information stupidity is when u expect me to dole out money for services I don't receive: NO I WILL NOT.

FYI fashola is not working for Nigerians, he is simply working for the interests of his party and the president that appointed him. there is nothing he has done that shows he works for Nigerians.
