APC to Presidency: Tell us how 400,000 barrels of oil are being stolen daily


The All Progressives Congress, APC, has challenged the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and presidency’s spokesmen, Dr. Doyin Okupe, and Dr. Reuben Abati, to tell Nigerians why the ruling party has failed to deliver in the 14 years it has ruled, instead of peddling concocted tales about the opposition.

Interim National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in a statement, yesterday, also asked the Presidency to tell Nigerians why it allegedly defied Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC’s, rules by continuing to campaign for the 2015 elections.

APC called on INEC to sanction any party that violates its ban on early campaigns for the 2015 elections, in view of the First Lady’s phantom peace rally that was actually a facade for electioneering campaign, if INEC’s ban on such campaigns is to be taken seriously.

The party said: ’’These are what Nigerians are interested in, not continuous muck-raking about opposition leaders like General Muhammadu Buhari and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. For example, Nigerians want to know why the country can still not feed itself after 14 years of endless promises by the PDP; Nigerians want to know why they cannot be protected by their government when the security of lives and property is the rason d’etre of any government.

’’Nigerians want to know why over 40 million youths cannot get jobs under a government that gleefully touts a six percent GDP growth. Nigerians want to know how 400,000 barrels of oil are being stolen daily and who the thieves are. Nigerians want to know why the country is more divided than ever, under the watch of President Goodluck Jonathan, and why corruption has become a bigger monster in the years under the PDP.
’’The 2015 elections will be fought on the platform of issues, not meaningless attacks on personalities and attention-diverting tales like how General Buhari wants to stage a comeback, or how Asiwaju Tinubu wants to expand his imaginary empire.’’

APC said the reason its leaders have put national interests above personal considerations is to rescue Nigeria from the clutches of the PDP and a mediocre presidency, both of which have failed the citizenry and dimmed their hopes, not because of power-for-power sake, which, it said, is the mantra of the PDP.

[b]“Our eight cardinal programmes, which we shall be articulating in the days ahead, represent a summary of how we intend to rescue the long-suffering citizens as well as our nation. These are War Against Corruption, Food security, Accelerated Power Supply, Integrated Transport Network, Free Education, Devolution of Power, Accelerated Economic Growth and Affordable Health Care.
’’Our guiding philosophy will derive its impetus from these seven principles: Belief in, and the fear of God; Upholding the rule of law; Preserving national unity; Pursuit of a just and egalitarian society; Building of strong institutions; Commitment to social justice and economic progress; and Promoting representative and functional participatory democracy.

‘’These are the issues we will be enunciating in the days ahead as we steer the politics of our nation away from jejune matters that are at the core of the PDP misrule to serious issues of relevance that will benefit our people under an APC federal government,’’ the party said. [/b]

Omexonomy: you this idi0t what i am trying to prove is that they are all thives (gej and fashole) fighting for their pocket not for the mases. M0r0n death is the last thing i will wish so i sh.i.t on ur head.

godello: Lets not deceive ourselves, the pipeline vadals can't tap such amount of crude daily. The real theives are the politician,if u really want to know, go to "BOP" its a loading point for exxonmobil,and why its is unknown to many is because of its location,on the atlantic ocean, our politicians have their vessels that comes there to load with an other from the presidency. And i guess same happens in other loading point of major oil multinationals. God bless Nigeria.

take dat: The small criminals in the creeks bursting pipelines and stealing crude oil are not working for themselves. Its like a drug cartel, they are being sponsored by some heavyweights behind the scene. The President through the minister of petroleum can 'discretionally' award oil lifting contract. The big crude oil theft takes place when a company is awarded crude oil lifting contract to lift a specified number of barrels example, a company awarded an allocation of 20 000 bpd but instead of its vessel lifting the allocated amount, it departs the terminal with 40 000bpd. It is called 'Topping', meaning 20 000bpd will be unaccounted for. The relevant agency in charge of monitoring, the DPR, is very corrupt and inefficient because of our archaic metering system. The topping is also done by the IOC's.

The Government either seem to lack the political will to restore transparency and accountability in the oil industry or has vested interest in this regime of roguery, because the Ribadu Presidential Report recommended the use of automated metering system in all the terminals and well heads, and even took a step further by contacting Schlumberger for the installation of the automated meters before the report was denigrated by some corrupt elements in government circles. The 'Big Wigs' involved in the monumental thievery are well known to Government.
