Oil thieves, few retired NNPC staff, idle lawyers gang-up against Kyari, Group alleges

Oil thieves, few retired NNPC staff, idle lawyers gang-up against Kyari, Group alleges

A group under the auspices of Nigeria Accountability Monitors(NAM) has lambasted the Coalition of Nigerian Legal Practitioners for calling for the sack of NNPC GCEO, Mele Kyari. It also accused some recently retired senior and management staff of conniving with “idle lawyers and other hirelings” to attack the NNPC’s Mele Kyari/ Umar Ajiya- led management.

A media statement signed by the group’s Chairman, Sabiu Ibrahim on Thursday evening, described the lawyers coalition led by Adesina Bernard as “mischief-makers acting the script of a few among the recently retired officials of the NNPC in an overhaul exercise meant to reposition the company”.

Sabiu, in the statement, described leader of the anti-Kyari lawyers group, Adesina Bernard as “hacks working against a highly proactive Kyari/Ajiya led management team that has been exposing illegal oil refineries run by big thieves in the country”.

He then queried: ” Where does the Coalition of Lawyers stand? With oil thieves and mischievous persons who made good fortunes working under the Kyari/Ajiya management team but recently retired to pave way for routine, legitimate succession? Or are they with the big thieves running illegal refineries? Why are they openly opposed to the transparency in managing the NNPC as a company in which all Nigerians are now equal stakeholders?”

Ibrahim, in the statement, said “NAM has hereby given the Coalition of Lawyers 48 hours ultimatum to tell Nigerians one reform policy of the Kyari/Ajiya management team that is not necessary for the growth and economic development of Nigeria; or just shut up”, and “stop crying wolf where there is none”.

NAM also challenged the lawyers group to name one person in the NNPC, at the moment, who they think has “the transparency and bravery to break the NNPC away from the inglorious past, than Kyari and Ajiya”.

The group then warned the lawyers: ” We will no longer fold our arms and watch ethnicity promoters being sponsored by oil thieves, attempting to needlessly attack the Kyari/Ajiya management team that has successfully turned around the fortunes of the NNPC the way no one has ever done. Enough is enough”.

NAM also noted: “Though groups from the North have maintained unjustified silence over the attack on their illustrious sons in the current NNPCL management, we are fully prepared to legitimately defend the Kyari/Ajiya reforms, to put an end media attacks guided by regional coloration”.

The group then declared:
“Dependable sources have also revealed to us, that some few persons at management level within the NNPC are also conniving with hired outside forces, to undermine the sterling achievements of the Kyari/Ajiya- led management; or at least give a dent to their credible leadership of this African oil giant.They are nothing but backstabbers and they won’t succeed in their demonic agenda against Nigeria and her efficient, transparent NNPC management”.

Is this Govt a money looting Govt or a Nation building Govt?-Fadojoe (Former Labour Party Presidential Aspirant)

Is this Govt a money looting Govt or a Nation building Govt?
-Fadojoe (Former Labour Party Presidential Aspirant)

The pertinent questions raised by a former presidential aspirant under Labour Party and the leader of Rescue The Vulnerable Initiative aka Rescue Movement For New Nigeria is if the President Tinubu led All Progressive Congress government only come to loot or really ready for nation building.

In his online interactive session with newsmen the activist directly address Nigerians as follows, “My fellow Nigerians, at this point, it is very imperative to ask ourselves and the Apc led Government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu if his Government he tagged “Renewed Hope” is a government for nation development and building or simply an administration that its sole purpose is to loot our national treasury to zero.

“I ask this question because in less than 6 months in office, this administration has borrowed more than any government in the past has borrowed in their first 6 months in office. And this government has spent chunk of the borrowed funds to itself and cohorts.

“It is if note that after announcing the removal of oil subsidy by Mr President himself. And saying that he felt our pain as a nation, the same President borrowed money only to give over N70billion to National Assembly only. The same administration talked about giving N8,000 each to some 15 million poverty ridden Nigerians according to their own estimate; only to turn back overnight after backlash based on public opinion, without reasonable policy sending N5 billion to each State governor. And up till now no state has accounted for a penny on how the said money was utilized.

“As if that is not enough, under this same administration, the nation’s highest law making body National Assembly gifted themselves exotic cars each worth over N160 million per lawmaker. Now we woke up again to hear that the president will be spending over N5 billion on just Yatch for the President and more than N6 billion to the office of the first lady for luxurious cars: all from borrowed money at the expense of the suffering masses, groaning under the heavy yokes of high fuel pump price, high cost of living without any kind of succor and economy downturn.

The young presidential aspirant then put forth the following questions begging for answer, “How insensitive can this government be? How irresponsible can this administration be? How wicked can these set of leaders we have in a Nation where we produce nothing but consume more than we borrow be?”

Lamenting as usual about the present state of Nigeria that, ordinary citizens cannot afford one square meal a day. And workers still get N30,000 as minimum wage, which cannot buy one bag of rice, or beans or even grain.

Wondering how the son of the president can boldly be using presidential jet for private use to polo sport in kaduna. “So it is hard for me to reconcile the statement coming from the mouthpiece of this president and its media spokesperson and what we Nigerians are seeing and reading on the pages of newspapers everyday.

“Is this the renewed hope Mr President promised or do we call it renewed Loot? No accountability from any sector from federal down to the state or local government. A government that promised to flood the country with fuel efficient buses for public use and more than a month after that announcement Nigerians are yet to see even one bus on the street of Nigeria.

“A government that promised student loans for Nigerian youths and all we have seen so far is the opposite of a 400% increase in University school fees instead.

“Nigerians have been subjected to do much hardship that an ordinary activist in Nigeria is so hungry that he can no longer advocate for good governance anymore. A Nation where journalists have turned to public advocates instead of reporting news and moderating interviews. A Nation where many of its citizens are now resulting into ritual to survive. An average Nigerian no longer have a heart but heartless. An average Nigerian no longer care about one another, but care-less. A Nation where Nigerians are no longer their brothers keepers but brothers killers. A Nation where we have everything but lack everything.

“This government need to change her approach to governance.
Nigerians may not be quiet for long. Nigerians cannot continue to see a government that preaches the need for endurance about the hardship, poverty, insecurity, joblessness, inflation in the nation but looting and wasting so much borrowed resources on bogus lifestyle.

Advising the government to retrace her steps and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to lead by example, he added that Mr. President cannot ask Nigerians to endure, to persevere, to be patient but his government will then daily lavish billions borrowed, on lifestyle that could be moderate than it is. Asking again if we can say it is not President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that is running our nation but the cabals as they always say. “Or do we have Godfathers again dictating things for this President? If not Mr. President should change gear. This compass isn’t going the right direction and Ordinary citizens are suffering enough.

“Even if politicians no longer have the fear of God in our country ,let have fear of humanity, fear of those suffering to survive daily fears of children with no hope of going to school, fear of many household fathers that can no longer provide for their family.

“I still believe some days Nigeria will be a great nation. Mr President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should think of legacy he wants to live behind. Don’t be just past President after your tenure is over, be a change agent that will be in the history book of Nigeria forever and the journey to that starts from now. May God bless the federal republic of Nigeria”, he concluded.

Fubura Did Nothing to Warrant Impeachment Action – MGGN

Rivers : Good Governance Group Condemns Attempt To Impeach Governor Fubura.

… says he’s done nothing to warrant such undemoc

… Berates Fmr Governor Wike

Group under aegis of Movement for Good Governance in Nigeria (MGGN) has condemned the alleged attempt by some members of the State House of Assembly to impeach Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.

The group ,which berated Nyesom Wike, Minister of Federal Capital Territory FCT Abuja, described the alleged grand plot to impeach Governor Fubara as unfortunate and undemocratic.

The information gathered revealed that the lawmakers, who are believed to be loyal to Wike, had signed an impeachment notice against the embattled governor early Monday morning.

The Movement for Good Governance in Nigeria ,which disclosed this in a press statement signed by its National Chairman, Comrade Garba Ahmadu Suleiman said , “It’s against this background that the group decided to fight and stand against this undemocratic act by the sponsored lawmakers. “

Although ,the group in the statement said it can’t confirm that former Governor Wike is the brain behind the grand plot to unlawfully attempt to impeach Fubara who is barely five months in office as Governor of River State, he has done nothing wrong to warrant his removal except for the fact that he has decided not to remain a stooge to the immediate.

According to the group which accused Wike of trying to control the state and waste resources said move to remove the Governor by 24 members of the House of Assembly will lead to unwarranted break down of law and order in the state .

The statement further reads : “We consider this development very worrisome and capable of generating an unwarranted state of insecurity and instability that can throw the entire Niger Delta and the Nigerian economy into serious crises.

“We urge Wike to concentrate on his responsibilities as Minister of FCT and stop interfering and arm twisting the political machinery in River State to advance his personal and selfish desires”.

It however ,called on all democrats and Nigerians to rise against this brazen oppression and suppression of duly elected leaders , especially a Governor such as Fubura.

called on the major rivals of the president to sheath their swords of political combat and join hands with the Tinubu administration in the collective goal of making the nation great again.

“The elections have been announced by the electoral authorities and confirmed by the courts, and I call on all former political rivals of the president to show good faith by joining hands with the Bola Tinubu administration in its ongoing efforts to take the nation to a higher level”.

Oil Sector Reforms:  House of Reps Pledges to Help Tinubu,Kyari  Implement PIA… Says NNPCL GCEO Leading Anti-Corruption crusade

Reforms:  House of Reps Pledges to Help Tinubu,Kyari  Implement PIA

…Says NNPCL GCEO leading anti- corruption crusade in oil, gas sector

In its efforts  to ensure maximum output and smooth operation in the oil sector, the House of Representatives caucus pledged to support  President Bola Tinubu-led administration to achieve a seamless implementation of fuel subsidy removal and other aspects of the Petroleum Industry Act 2021.

According to House of Reps caucus consisting of over 50 members drawn from across the country, the Petroleum Industry Act 2021 is the most audacious attempt to overhaul the petroleum sector, once bedevilled by controversies and uncertainties. 

Hon. Seso Ikpagher (Benue APC) who disclosed  this ,described the PIA as the best thing to happen to Nigeria’s oil sector and one of the numerous reforms birthed by the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Engr. Mele Kyari.

He, however, lamented that the implementation of the law and operationalisation of its objectives remains a cause for serious concerns. 

If properly effected, Ikpagher noted that the PIA has the potential to impact Nigerians positively, facilitating economic development by attracting and creating investment opportunities for local and international investors.

While admitting that the expected gains of the Petroleum Industry Act have not been fully actualised, he expressed optimism that with Kyari, Nigerians can be hopeful.

To this end, he said the House of Reps has resolved to give the NNPCL boss all the necessary support to succeed. 

Meanwhile, Hon. Iyawe Esosa (Edo, LP) described Kyari as the game-changer in the oil and gas sector not just in Nigeria but the continent. 

Esosa said the NNPCL GCEO came at a turbulent period characterised by low production, burgeoning vandalisation of oil pipelines, oil theft on a grand scale, and demoralised staff of the company.

However, just a little over three years later, he said the story is different.  

“The signing of the PIA by former President Muhammadu Buhari was perhaps the biggest breakthrough for Kyari as it opened the door for more significant changes in the national oil giant,” he said.

“We can’t forget how he worked for the passage of the PIA. Today, we have a new, refreshed, and rejuvenated NNPC. He has gone a step further to initiate new investment benchmarks to further rejuvenate the once-ineffective company.

“Nigeria’s oil and gas industry is now on a transformative path, unlocking opportunities for growth and prosperity in the sector. The end of the fraudulent subsidy regime was another milestone. 

“Under the leadership of Kyari, the company has taken significant steps towards enhancing transparency and accountability in the industry. One of the ways he has done this is by publishing monthly financial and operational reports.

“For Kyari, it is about the country. And together with other distinguished colleagues, we have vowed to support him in breaking new grounds and achieving more”.

ELECTION IS OVER LET’S BUILD A COALITION TO RETIRE THIS OLD GROUP OF SIT-TIGHT POLITICIANS IN THE NEXT ELECTION

Comrade Faduri Oluwadare Joseph aka Fadojoe former presidential aspirant under Labour Party has called on Nigerians who are interested in building a new nation to wake up to the reality that it takes a united people determined to rescue their country and ready to give it all it takes to rescue Nigeria from this old generation of sit tight politicians who have destroyed and still destroying the everything that remains. Yet still not ready to surrender power willingly.

Speaking with newsmen online from his base in the United States of America (USA) he expressed how from day one of this election he clearly predicted that it’s “white elephant project that is going anywhere. Here we are today, affirming my earlier submission and predictions made clear a day after the election.

“Since this administration came in to office, the life of an ordinary citizen has been turned apart. More impoverishment, more hardship, more suffering, more agony and deeper crashing.

“A government that started with disrupting the nation with sudden announcement of subsidy removal and up until now, the nation has not remained the same again. I believe in the legitimacy of the President, that no doubt but this government that promised renewed hope has failed Nigeria (as a country) and still fails Nigerians.

The activist again lamented the deteriorating state of the country as, “things are getting worse by the day due to the unfavourable policies of this government that made no plan and no positive implementation. Our nation has been a country of hell, and people can’t even afford one square meal per day.

“Our economy is in a totally shamble. Our naira is on a free fall every day. Insecurity all over the nation, especially in the northern part of Nigeria. Our Educational system is degraded to zero, food is out of reach of ordinary citizens and at worst a government that is insensitive to the cry of the nation where the government is borrowing to loot and to lavish. A government that in the midst of poverty and still borrowing, yet its National Assembly gifting themselves official car each worth N160million after their initial N70 billion dashing themselves money from the nation treasury, even when Nigerian workers still earn less than $50/per month. A government that announced student loans for Youths only to slam them with 400% school fees hike. A government with no plan and policies for children, elderly and people with disabilities.

Proffering solutions, the 2023 Labour Party presidential aspirant said, “we must come together and start building a coalition to bring Nigerian together under one big umbrella and not all these divisions in our political parties and process

“We must put this government on its toes to make policies that can impact Nigerian positively. People are suffering, people are hurting, people are hopeless, people are dejected, people are dying every day in our nation due to poverty, hunger, insecurity and others.

“We do not have any other nation to go to, we must come together to fight for this one we have. This government must seek help where it is needed help and not just make it a party affair, but go outside its party to seek help if need be.

“This government must thoroughly think through their policies before unfolding them to Nigerian and before implementing them as well.

“I want our nation to succeed and that success can only happen if we all put hands on deck. I mean both the government (in power) and formidable opposition, to check-make excesses of this government and to start putting our heads together for a formidable alternative ahead of 2027. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he concluded

Catholic Church Honours Sen. Shehu Shehu with Award of Excellence 

Catholic Church Honours Sen. Shehu Shehu with Award of Excellence 

…Says He Remains Dependable Voice of Masses 

In a bid to encourage good deeds and exemplary leadership in the society  , the Catholic Men Organization, Kaduna Archdiocese honoured for lawmaker of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,Senator Shehu Sani with an award of Excellence. 

The award titled, “Voice  of the Masses ” was in recognition of his invaluable contributions to fight against injustices and resolute disposition about the plights of the masses in the society

Speaking during the presentation ceremony at his Kaduna residence, the Leader of the delegation, Mr. Bature Joel Madaki ,2023 Convention Chairman, Catholic Men Organization of Kaduna Archdiocese said decision to honour the former lawmaker , who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in 8th Senate was to encourage him to remain steadfast and do more for the masses.

“On behalf of the Catholic Men Organisation (CMO), Kaduna Catholic Archdiocese we present to you this award of excellence for being the voice of the masses. This is in our own little way of supporting and encouraging you for all you have doing for humanity. We thank you for accepting this award from this family.”he stated. 

While noting that Senator Shehu Sani has always represented and spoke for the masses before he was elected as a lawmaker and have continued to do so even out of office,he added ,”This is part of reasons we want him to  know that there are people, who appreciate his constant support for the masses .”

In his reaction shortly after receiving the award , Senator Shehu Sani who ,thanked the Catholic Church of Nigeria for invaluable award, said ,” I feel highly honoured to receive such prestigious award for appreciating our own modest contribution to humanity. When an award is given, it is an encouragement, it is a booster and energiser for the recipient in appreciation for what he or she has done. I also believe that an award a path to the future. It is not simply about what you have done in the past. It propels you to do more.

He further  explained,”Catholic organisation in Kaduna has been as long as our history. The Catholic organisation has contributed tremendously to the socio-economic life of the people of Kaduna State. We grew up where we saw the hands of Catholic in education, in health, peace and harmonious coexistence in Kaduna State. The Catholic church in Kaduna is part and parcel of our life. Today we have established institutions that has benefited every irrespective of his religion or ethnic identity.

” I can say that there is no indigene of Kaduna State that has not benefitted from the magnanimity of Catholic in the State. Unfortunately as I am receiving this award.

“I will also use this opportunity to say that over the years, religious leaders have suffered tremendously in the hands of bandits and terrorists in the State. We have  seen Muslims leaders killed, we have also seen where Christian leaders are killed. But there is no one segment of religious groups that have suffered in terms of targeting church leaders by bandits like the Catholic church.

” We have seen the adoption of many of your Priests, and killings of many of your Priests. There are those  of us who have never relented in condemning every aspect of  this systemic attack on Catholic church. 

“I can remember some years ago, how a terrorist rammed a vehicle into Catholic church in Malali and killed many worshippers and injured several others. I can also recall  a number of Priests that I know personally that were killed by terrorists. But for me as one of the major stakeholders in Kaduna State, I can tell you that you still have a role to play by adding more to the efforts to cement the divide  that exists between the Northern and Southern part of Kaduna State.

“The river Kaduna that divides the North and Southern part of Kaduna should be a source and a fountain for peace, unity and cordial relationship between the North and South of the State. Kaduna State is one of the top three States that have suffered in the hands of terrorists. There is no part of this State that is immune to terrorism attack.”

Former SGF is right Obi not Tinubu Won 2023 Presidential Polls, LP Gombe Guber Candidate Backs Babachir

Former SGF is right Obi not Tinubu Won 2023 Presidential Polls, LP Gombe Guber Candidate Backs Babachir

The Labour Party (LP), Gombe Guber candidate has backed former Scretary General of the Federation (SGF), has said Peter Obi not Tinubu Won 2023 Presidential Polls

He said, “After careful consideration and observation of the situation in the country, it is with regret that I must say I support the call by the Former SGF,His Excellency. David Babachir Lawal that Mr Peter Gregory Obi won the 2023 presidential election. The trust and confidence in the electoral umpire have been eroded, and it is in the best interest of the country for them to acknowledged their flaws.

“I join the Former SGF, millions of Nigerians nationally and internationally in backing the demand for the restoration of the electoral Victory to Peter Gregory Obi not Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the winner of the 2023 polls.

“Prior to the February 25th polls, INEC gave assurances that it was going to conduct the freest and fairest polls, but to our utmost dismay as LP members/supporters and the majority of Nigerians, the results of our Presidential candidate Peter Gregory Obi from reliable data, revealed that the electoral umpire failed to sum up the party’s tally during the collation of results nationwide”

“It was glaring that the 2023 polls was marred by irregularities nationwide that has led to the hearings of over 1000 petitions at the tribunal including that of our Presidential Candidate as the indices of the petitions at the tribunal is a reflection of the poor conduct of the polls by INEC”.

“Equally, during the announcement of the Presidential electoral votes collation of results in my local government area of Billiri, Gombe state, the presiding officers declared Obi as the outright winner from the over 10 wards with 45000 votes, but what was later declared and announced by the State INEC returning officer was to give Peter Obi only 26000 votes gotten from the whole of Gombe State, which ironically is the same votes allotted for our Candidate from the Bauchi State INEC.

Surely any building erected on sandy foundation is bound to collapse.

“Hence, I am in support of the call by the the Former SGF urging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to resign now in the best interest of his integrity and the country.

“Currently, the President’s actions on security, economy, appointments, unemployment, citizens welfare have resulted in a lack of accountability, transparency, and responsibility, which are crucial qualities needed in any leader.

“Therefore, Tinubu’s continued stay in office may Polaris the country along primordial cleavages and cause more harm than good and may further damage the country’s integrity and reputations in view of current court rulings on the certificate worthless of Alh. Bola Ahmed Tinubu

“As Nigerians, Let us unite, and relentlessly demand the restoration of Nigerian peoples MANDATE given to our Presidential Candidate, Mr.Peter Obi even as the hearing at the Supreme court slated for 23rd October 2023, begins.” he urged.
