“At the end of the day, by the day we announced the deregulation, almost everything was on my head. Everything was Jonathan to the extent that the House of Representatives had to meet on a Sunday to discuss it and it became an issue.
“At a point, some of the governors (I will not call the names) who participated in pressurising me, started shooting back.”
President Goodluck Jonathan made this disclosure while speaking at a workshop in Abuja on Monday on plans to increase electricity tariff from June 1, 2012.
He therefore warned the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission to commence an immediate sensitization of Nigerians on the move because he would not tolerate a repeat of the subsidy removal episode.
The President added: “What I am saying is that if you don’t have robust advocacy, by the time we get to that June 1, the civil society will come and say they have never heard it.”
