…”The difference between you and Buhari is TRUST” – Femi Adesina to GEJ<\/p>\n

Former President Goodluck Jonathan says he is surprised that those who criticised him for leaving the pump price of fuel at N87 per liter are not speaking out now that it has been jerked up to N143 by Buhari led government.<\/p>\n
In 2012, Jonathan\u2019s administration increased fuel price from N67 to N97 but reduced it to N87 in January 2015.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At the time, the move was seen as political, given that it was in an election year. Speaking on Thursday when Tunde Adeniran, one of the chairmanship aspirants of the PDP, visited him in his Abuja office, Jonathan defended the decisions he took on the price of fuel.<\/p>\n
In a swift response to Jonathan\u2019s comments on the reaction of Nigerians to the hike in petroleum products under Buhari, Mr Femi Adesina, the spokesman of President Muhammadu Buhari, says the difference between his principal and former President Goodluck Jonathan is trust.<\/p>\n
Last year, the current administration pushed the price to N143 and there was little or no resistance.<\/p>\n
In his tweet on Friday, Adesina said: \u201cWhen petrol went to N145 under PMB, Nigerians held their peace, unlike when they shut the country in 2012. The difference is trust. Simple.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
