Before the last general elections held
in April 2011, those in the showbiz
industry in Nigeria mobilized for and
endorsed President Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan as Nigeria’s next President
after the death of President Yar’adua.
President Jonathan gained the
sympathy of many Nigerians based on
how he rose to power, specially from a
poor background. In one of his pre-
election campaigns, one of Mohits
members, D Banj, interviewed the
President who was then an acting
president. That development gave
birth to insinuations that D Banj and
Mohits crew were paid for their
support for the President.
The recent removal of the hotly
debated fuel subsidy by the President
on New Year’s day has brought about
tongue-lashing on President Jonathan
by the masses and some Nigerian
celebrities. One of such is the boss of
Mohits crew, Michael Elebeli Collins,
who is well known as Don Jazzy, he
said, “I hardly regret decisions I make.
That my one vote added to put the
current government in power is one
decision I regret with all my heart.”
Baring his mind further, this Delta State
talented music producer said, “what I
don’t know is if the man we all voted
for deceived us knowing [that] he
would turn out like this or he is not the
one leading us. May God help us. “God
knows that government has not given
Mohits any penny like I have always
told you guys. I am boldly putting [it]
out here for anybody to contest. We all
voted for the guy [President Jonathan]
because at the time, we thought and
believed he would be the one to move
the country forward. My conscience is
clear,” he concluded.
The fuel subsidy removal has seen fuel
price skyrocket from N65 to N141 –
N158. It has also been greeted with
widespread condemnation and
protests around the country with
deaths already reportedly recorded.
