When u said sack!
I Tot dey removed him

President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu as the group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and replaced him with Maikanti Baru.

I came to look at the name of the person he replaced him with, And I wasn't disappointed, Buhari can't conceal his nepotism, favouritism and bias. Since southerners aren't qualified, according to zombies, Let him continue appointing the core northerners who are more qualified. See the BOARD OF DIRECTORS, 80 percent core northerners too, No federal Character. I remember many Buhari Ass-lickers saying Northerners are more Trustworthy, Seriously; Zombiesm is worst than terrorism.

I dey laugh those my people wey think say Buhari na man of integrity and unbiased man of integrity my ass.

80% northerners and Ibe Kachukwu is almost a figure head.. It's OK. .. I hope some stupid southerners are learning

Ok

at last

A greater step to change!!!

Must all govt corporations be headed by Hausas?

Lalasticlala ....
The Abokis are still in charge.

Does this have anything to do with the avengers?

Ahhahhahahahah haha

Because he challenged Amaechi
Buhari is a dullardian bastardsss

Lol i thought buhari was claiming he wasnt sectional?

Pls Chairman and GMD which of the post is higher?

What do You expect when he sided his people against Amaechi. I know Buhari wasn't happy about that

Thank God. We need another fuel scarcity.

BUHARI CHAII

nwamummy96:
Pls Chairman and GMD which of the post is higher?

The Chairman of any board or group is simply a figure head and a ceremonial head of the group, like the Queen of England acting in the role of the Head of the Commonwealth. The GMD, or Prime minister calls the shots. Kachikwu has been ceremonially FIRED.

Thank God. We need another fuel scarcity.

Dear why na??

Sack or promotion? From GMD to Chairman of the board.

2. Dr Thomas M.A John
3. Dr Pius O. Akinyelure

Tinubu men

From federal minister to minister of state and now Chairman. and you know that Chairman in Nigeria is non executive and ceremonial

Kachikwu resign before you are disgraced.

the north don't under your English
you are too smart for them.

Those around you are simply to monitor you and report back to the boss.

Nawaa, The only serious technocrat who is not a misfit and seems to be working is fired.

The Best is yet to come...

Does buhari think? The one performing minister among the lot y demote or even sack him.when u have NGIGE not knowing what his job entails.when u have fashola that has turned nigeria to d land of darkness. when you have lia mohamed spiting lies everyday and telling us the best job for us is to dress masquerade u remove kachiku.smh for buhari ooo

Kachikwu is officially the figurehead who takes the blame for any mishap.

That dude should just resign and save the little good name he has left, because things are about to go south real fast for him

Well wetin concern me? Who chairman epp?

Just check the names. Buhari is a useless bigot.

Mm

Hmmm



I am not surprised cos with the recent development in this country, the country is fully governed by d north... God help us...



Can anything good come out of this government?

Mtcheeew...
Rushed to book space thinking Ibe has been sacked

Seems like Kalichukwu has been put as chair of the board....and is still the GMD's supervisor.

Ah well, the problems in Nigeria's fuel sector are many. The GMD better realise he has not come to talk grammar....but to work and work.
