Ezekwesili to Buhari: Hope you aren’t planning to bury ‘$25bn NNPC scandal’
Oby Ezekwesili, former minister of education, is hoping President Muhammadu Buhari will not let the allegations of fraud against the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) be swept under the carpet.
She said this in reaction to the reconciliation of Maikanti Baru, group managing director of the oil firm, and Ibe Kachikwu, minister of state for petroleum resources.
She said the allegations raised are not one that “a serious government glosses over”, as this will according to her, deal a big blow on the anti-corruption war.
The ex-minister, therefore, asked Buhari to hasten the probe of the NNPC.
Ezekwesili spoke out via a series of tweets.
I turned to my husband&said, “God save us from gullible citizens!”. What does “reconcile” mean to CITIZENS who’re VICTIMS of Bad Governance?
I hope the FG @NGRPresident @MBuhari ‘s government does not plan on “moving on”. Governance is not about “personal beefs” &”reconciliation”.
I hope the FG @NGRPresident @MBuhari ‘s government does not plan on “moving on”. Governance is not about “personal beefs” &”reconciliation”.
The weighty Breach of PROCUREMENT LAW raised in @IbeKachikwu against GMD @NNPCgroup is NOT the kind of ISSUE a serious FG GLOSSES OVER.
I had raised my Voice on the issue and advised an Independent Review of the Mis-Procurement allegations. Can WE KNOW @MBuhari ‘s FG ACTION?
The CREDIBILITY of Pres @MBuhari ‘s anti-corruption agenda suffers deeper lethal BLOW if this gets buried like the #GrassCutterAllegations.

Those that have chosen Silence have made their Choice. WE have made ours. Those who MUST be ACCOUNTABLE SHALL SURELY ALWAYS HEAR THIS VOICE.
As I did my weekend reading, I saw pictures of Nigerians applauding that @NNPCgroup GMD & his minister, @IbeKachikwu “have reconciled”.

However, Kachikwu has denied the presence of fraud in the award of contracts by the NNPC, saying his letter was on governance.
The presidency has also said there is no such thing as the award of $25 billion worth of oil contracts by the NNPC.
