Former education minister, Oby Ezekwesili has said President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-graft war should be considered a hoax if the ‘$25 billion scandal’ in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) gets buried.
Ezekwesili, in a series of tweets on Monday, hoped that the recent compromise reached between Maikanti Baru and Ibe Kachikwu was not a deliberate attempt by the Buhari administration to sweep the corruption allegations under the carpet.
The Tweets:

As I did my weekend reading, I saw pictures of Nigerians applauding that @NNPCgroup GMD & his minister, @IbeKachikwu “have reconciled”.

I hope the FG @NGRPresident @MBuhari ‘s government does not plan on “moving on”. Governance is not about “personal beefs” &”reconciliation”.

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?

I turned to my husband&said, “God save us from gullible citizens!”. What does “reconcile” mean to CITIZENS who’re VICTIMS of Bad Governance?

Those that have chosen Silence have made their Choice. WE have made ours. Those who MUST be ACCOUNTABLE SHALL SURELY ALWAYS HEAR THIS VOICE.

The weighty Breach of PROCUREMENT LAW raised in @IbeKachikwu against GMD @NNPCgroup is NOT the kind of ISSUE a serious FG GLOSSES OVER.

This is my Voice to say, good that @IbeKachikwu & his GMD @NNPCgroup have become friends again. NOW LET THE BREACH RAISED BE PROBED SWIFTLY.

The CREDIBILITY of Pres @MBuhari ‘s anti-corruption agenda suffers deeper lethal BLOW if this gets buried like the #GrassCutterAllegations.
