NNPC Now ‘Northern Nigeria Petroleum Corporation’ Under Buhari – Omokri

Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan’s former media aide, Reno Omokri, has taken a swipe at the President Muhammadu Buhari-led petroleum ministry.

This comes close on the heels of a petition written by the Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu, to President Buhari over alleged insubordination and corruption against the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Maikanti Baru.

Reports had claimed Kachikwu was consequently denied access to the president since submitting the petition.

In his reaction, Omokri wrote on Facebook, “Ibe Kachikwu did not get the memo. There is no Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation any more. It is now Northern Nigeria Petroleum Corporation.

“It is very sad that even the Minister of state for Petroleum resources can’t even see the President who is the minister of Petroleum resources!

“If President Buhari truly has integrity and if his anti corruption war is not a cover for an anti PDP war then Baru must be investigated.

“Just imagine what would have happened if a minister accused Goodluck Jonathan’s government of awarding $26 billion contracts without due process! Anti corruption government my foot!

“We will not know the extent of the Muhammadu Buhari administration’s corruption until they leave office!,” he wrote.
