From the portrayal here, it seems clear to me that Jonathan/Diezani were between a rock and a hard place with regards to the refineries. If the refineries are not working, what can the government do but look for an alternative (even if that alternative has already existed for decades)? Maybe it did not go as smoothly as hoped, but it is better to try and not succeed than to never try at all – and I think all Nigerians will agree that we can not fault the previous administration for trying.
