The Concerned Ijaw Transformation Ambassadors (CITA) has said that Bola Tinubu, Prof. Wole Soyinka, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon, John Oyegun and the leadership and members of the Save Nigeria Group to tender an unreserved apology to former President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan over the sinister role they played when he announced the removal of fuel subsidy on the 1st of January, 2012.

This was contained in a press statement signed by Amb. Arerebo Salaco Yerinmene Peters. President, CITA and Comrade Obiri Wenebokefe Jonathan, Spokesman, CITA.

CITA said that these professed patriots incited and led Nigerians to protest against the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit.

“They blatantly criticised this policy of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan as a sheer scam targeted at unleashing untold hardship to the average Nigerian and sponsored protests and demonstrations which even led to the death of some Nigerians.

.
“We are berserkly puzzled that these same persons who feigned patriotism and advocacy for social justice turned a new leaf and now pioneer and celebrate the removal of fuel subsidy under President Muhammadu Buhari.

.
“Have they become proponents of a new school of thought? Was their disenchantment with the removal of fuel subsidy under Dr. Goodluck Jonathan triggered by sentiments of ethnic and political differences?

“Was the Save Nigeria Group a sheep covering veiling a calculated synergy to make Nigeria ungovernable for Dr. Goodluck Jonathan?
.
“It is crystal clear that the emotions of a great chunk of naïve and gullible Nigerians were incited and their passions ignited to fight against the success of the Nigerian Federal Government under a peace loving and law abiding democratic President tagging it as being anti-people.

“On behalf of the foregoing, we direct the Save Nigeria Group and its leaders and members to tender an unreserved apology to Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.”

  1. Who is jonathan?…..you mean the corrupt kingpin???

      • If Buhari, Tinubu etc etc are not currupt let him (Buhari ) publish the names of looters and the amount each looter looted. Is it not callous that the APC – led govt is beating drum for fighting curruption involving $2.1billion, whereas a well known individual who curruptly enrich to the tune of $16billion, is a bossom friend of the same govt? It is only fools who ll allow his judgement, criticism and intelligence to be overwhelmed by sentiment.

  2. PRSIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN is the ONLY MAN whose political ambition is not WORT the BLOOD of any Nigerian.Unlike the TYRANT mama madu bugarri, whose political ambition is worth the blood of EVERY nigerian. ” If I don’t win this election, I will make the Country UNGOVERNABLE”& he lived up to his demonic words.

Believe me, my people from different tribes. How can we youth think that the party leaders of APC or PDP is thinking about the common man, they are after their pocket.
