Despite the hard stands by the Nigerian masses against withdrawal of fuel subsidy by President Jonathan, the masses, NLC/TUC and Politicians have since be rejoicing at the suspension of strike and hostility by both party. Although, largely, the masses feel betrayed by labour and TUC, at least, petroleum pump price is no longer N141 but N97. However, the dreaded queue usually experienced in the old days of Obasanjo have returned in full force. We hope it's for a while.
The Ministry in charge of Nigeria oil, according to customs boss, Alhaji Abdullahi Dikko-Inde, has been short changing Nigerians due to lack of transparency. But, the Honourable Minister insisted that she did no wrong, even the Trillions of Naira allegedly disbursed as fuel subsidy was ordered by Her Majesty, auntie Ngozi Nwela.
It is apparent that from the various claims and finger pointing by people in authority, the fight to eradicate corruption in our society may not see the light of day.
One thing is sure, if president Jonanthan decides to sacrifice a sacred cow, and make the high and mighty walk free, the untrustworthy NLC and TUC may not need to call people out to the street, it could just happen like a tsunami. A word is enough for the wise.
