That the outgoing government of President Goodluck Jonathan appears not to be bothered about the suffering and hardship being experienced by the masses, no thanks to the prevailing energy crisis, is indeed unfortunate. Inasmuch as the President is still fully and not partially in charge until May 29, it is expected he addresses his mind to the plight of the Nigerian citizens until the last minute of his tenure. Barely a week ago, we read the President-elect was cautioned against running a parallel government. If by implication, the incoming government is advised to keep off for now, then we appeal to President Jonathan to come out decisively and tackle the ongoing crisis before it gets out of hand.

The multiplier effects of the fuel crisis are quite enormous. Many are trekking to workplaces where that is an affordable option. So, many have been forced to remain indoors. Prices of goods and services have skyrocketed. We heard we may lose telephone communication if the problem remains unabated within the next few days. Right now, the crisis is getting catastrophic enough to warrant the President coming on air and talk to Nigerians on the way out.
