Kachikwu should shut up and get with the program.

Kachikwu, Your humiliation started when Buhari, without any certificate or knowledge of the petroleum industry made you a junior minister. The customs CG, who should, by law report to the finance minister, demanded to have unfettered access to aso villa and buhari. How much more a seasoned professional like yourself?

I have no iota of sympathy for kachikwu. Some of us saw this coming. Kachikwu should not expect PMB to take his side.

EFCC will be opening a case file for Kachikwu is due course.

texazzpete:


Don't be silly.
Of course he knew that was effectively neutering him. Was he supposed to resign?

Dont be silly ?
Why is he now complaining ? Is the a government position his birthright ? Or his family property ? Instead of this long epistle can't he resign ?
I'm not surprised at your comment: Nigerians lay claim to a unique way of reasoning.

this news should be viral or is petrodollar suppressing it?

Cc Lalasticlala Seun mynd44 this should be on the front page

TonyeBarcanista:
Honestly, I don't know why Ibe Kachukwu is crying...

1. In his letter he sound so insecure like he is in superiority contest with GMD Baru

2. He seem to forget that he is the Minister of State for Petroleum resources and not the Minister of Petroleum resources, hence, any approval the GMD got from Buhari (the minister) subsist and NOBODY owe him any explanation concerning the decision of the boss at the top.

3. I'd have loved that he cite sections of procedures/rules that mandates contracts above $20m MUST be passed through the NNPC board before it is implemented. From the traditions of NNPC, the minister is usually the final appending authority... If, however, that is the case, then this is a serious indictment on both the GMD and the Government.

4. As for appointment, as unfortunate as it may sound, once the Petroleum Minister approves it, it becomes valid with or without the input of minister of State.

Let me for the record state that the office of Minister of State is more or less minister without portfolio because you can easily be sidelined... I'd have preferred Kachukwu to prefer remaining as GMD than the "promotion" to Minister of State when in reality he is at the mercies of the Substantive minister (in his case the president) and nobody will really fear much.


SOLUTION
There is nothing anyone can do about this, not even President Buhari. NNPC is a cash cow and Baru is the GMD and Buhari is the Minister.

I am sure Kachukwu is not expecting Buhari to query or sack his kinsman?

BTW Did I read that they refused to allow Kachukwu get appointment with Buhari? Naija wahala plenty o

Then what powers do the board have?
I have not read the laws that govern NNPC, but the board of NNPC should at least have an oversight function, and as such, let decisions should not be taken without consulting them.

This is so wrong in every level.... I think Kachikwu should resign and focus on something else. To think that he left a lucrative Job at a managerial position at Exxonmobil to try to serve his country. With a pay cut sef.

PMB will not go against his northern brother. The SGF and Co have not been persecuted or media tried yet. Nepotism being down this government. Southerners worshipping government should take a cue from this.


First it was Onyeka.

Dr. Kachikwu's allegations against Mr. Baru require thorough investigation. If true, the GMD should be dealt with accordingly.

FearGodinall:
This is all what you have to say on the memo, GMD issuing contracts without approval of the board he head worth billions and you here portraying silliness.

And you are here portraying daftness. I repeat Baru and Kachikwu are birds of the same feather. Both of them should be probed. If it upsets you so much, hug the nearest transformer with wet hands!

This is all you've got to say?

Yes! Is what I said a crime?

Buhari's government is government of winners takes it all.

If you still doubt me ask Buboo himself the meaning of 97% vs 5%.

And can someone tell Ibe Kachikwu not to give himself high blood pressure? Cos these hausa/fulani hegemons headed by the grand patron knows what they are doing so he shouldn't be surprised if he gets a sack letter for rocking the boat.

I do not believe Baru will make such critical appointments without the minister of petroleum and the cabals directive.

A first class graduate of Law, a Harvard alumni and a former Exxon Exec being played around by illiterate northerners.

989900:
Kachikwu did so well for the petroleum industry in one of its most precarious situation ever.

PMB should have made him Federal minister by now, or at least given him more control and powers . . . not for people like Baru to be practicing their northern shenanigans with the man.

As much as I will like to hear Baru's side of the story (not to be jumping into conclusions and sh!t . . . the NNPC has really metamorphosed into a better organization and Baru and team too have driven per barrel production cost to an unbelievable low -- a miracle), PMB needs to realize that it was Kachikwu and Osinbajo that saved his ass when hell went loose in the Niger Delta, and Crude prices crashed to around 30/barrel.

Kachikwu has done so much for the industry from bringing in investments (commitments) worth over $80b to help pushing the petroleum industry bill, to refineries, etc.

P.S. one of the few men I'd vote for for any position in this country -- including the Presidency.

Kachukwu is the most effective appointee in this dastardly government.
I despise this administration but kachukwu stands out in the midst of shitt.

He better jump ship before they rob shiit on him cos his letter says it all...his efforts aren't being appreciated.

Unfortunately he's now between the devil and the deep blue sea cos either way I don't see him escaping unscathed without one or two allegations being hung on him cos the stakes are high.

DSS is in charge of politics section now.. even seun posts once or twice in three days now

so there is "kwaraption" in this government

Southerners never learn anything, the north still countols this country 100%.

The so called juicy position given to southerners are just smokescreen.

Imagine hadi sidika, totally sideline amechi in aviation section. Now petroleum minister too.

EponOjuku:


Goodluck Azikiwe Ebele Jonathan was a President who Igbos saturated his government. We can all see how it turned out.

While Azikiwe Jonathan was President, some wawa osu outcasts were insulting Nigerians and calling names like "Amala and Ewedu, born to rule", etc. Even his uncouth piglet of a wife called the northerners "born throway".

Meanwhile, as for these allegations of Kachikwu, they are all shades of wrong. Something similar is happening in the Ministry of Education but that's between the two Ministers there.

At one time Nigeria was gracing the covers of Forbes magazine for agri and was the fastest growing economy in the World, shame on you for playing the tribal card while Nigeria is on a unstoppable downward spiral.

I'm not surprised at your comment: Nigerians lay claim to a unique way of reasoning.

And your comment does not surprise me either. Many Nigerians are ravaged by laziness, clinging to the easy way and fleeing at the first sign of adversity.

There are entrenched cabals in every sphere of Nigeria. People who make change possible do not flee at the first sight of opposition.

Of course this assumes the man is a good fellow and can drive change. If this is So, will his resignation help or hurt Nigeria?

laudate:

Kachikwu is no better than Baru. He should stop pretending to be a saint. Both of them should be probed.
