Buhari’s Emergence As Petroleum Minister Helped Promote Corruption, Says RichardsThe Executive

Directorr of Corruption Observatory, Mr. Ivie Richards has condemned in strong terms, the position of President Muhammadu Buhari as Minister for Petroleum Resources, stressing it promotes corruption.

Mr. Richards made this known while speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, in Lagos on Thursday.

He said, “I quarrel seriously and I condemn in its entirety the fact that a sitting President doubles as the Minister for Petroleum. That has helped this rot a great deal and the right things need to be done.

“Again, that is another aberration. In that report, Kachikwu said that he is the Chairman of the board, but he is not the Minister for Petroleum.

“Minister is supposed to be the Chairman of the board. If you watch closely between the lines, you will see the insinuation that the tender board of the NNPC got some approvals from the President.

“What my real interest is here is to invite the organized civil societies, at least those concerned with good governance, to drag the tender board of the NNPC, its governing board, to court to let Nigerians know of all that is happening behind the curtains.

The CO’s boss further noted that if the allegation is proven true that President Buhari gave approval for procurement to NNPC’s board, it is more than enough ground to impeach the nation’s Commander-in-Chief.

“But my major interest and focus would be, ‘Is it true that at any time, the President gave approval tacitly to this procurement, direct approval to the Tender board of the NNPC?’ If that is true, to me, that is an impeachable offence.

“If you look at the case in Brazil, South Korea, for we know leaders have been shown the door. They are not as grievous as this. So I would want this nation, organized civil societies to properly unravel what happened between the Tender board of the NNPC and Mr. President,” he stressed.

Jonathan was not the minister of petroleum, there were many corrupt activities there in the ministry.

I am thoroughly disappointed with this government led by President Buhari. I cant say lesss
26 billion dollars awarded without due process......check well, they were awarded to themselves and their cronies.
Anti corruption my foot

26bn USD in two years! I hope you had your own share.

That is not my point man.

Being the President and the petroleum minister doesn't promote corruption like Mr Richard said. Of course, we once had a time when the President was not the minister of petroleum and there was still corruption.

Still expecting what action Buhari is going to take on the allegations in Kachukwu's letter anyway, to see if the government has finally lost it.
Babachir Lawal and Oke's cases are still under the carpet.

Buhari of now isn't different from the Buhari of then only age and health status makes the diff, Buhari wasn't voted for because of his "holiness" he was voted for because we are tired of PDP.
And now if Buhari said nothing abt this I won't be surprised after all Lawal Babachir is somewhere chilling baba nobody holy pass

Buhari 2 years = Disaster




But wait oh, who the fvck is Richard

obyrich:
26bn USD in two years! I hope you had your own share.

Was it share?

Tolexander:
Jonathan was not the minister of petroleum, there were many corrupt activities there in the ministry.

But there is no longer corrupt practices in there Oga.

Tell us something,OK NNPC is free of corruption

Tolexander:
Jonathan was not the minister of petroleum, there were many corrupt activities there in the ministry.

What took Diezani 6 years to accomplish under Jonathan has been accomplished under Buhari in less than 1 year.

Tolexander:
Jonathan was not the minister of petroleum, there were many corrupt activities there in the ministry.

baru did it in less than a year

Buhari is a certified dullard
Any position he occupies is vacant
That's why there are serious issues in the petroleum sector......
Come and chop politicians from the North are having a field day


And remember the zombie code ... If one is in APC... He is a saint who hates money

I'm coming

Yes. He has no capacity to hold a job not to talk of two

It does.

Even when a thief is caught in the act as long as s/he is Buhari's kinsman, then they are as clean as a whistle!


Even with foreign governments returning.monies recovered from Abacha (some of which Buhari's government later got to receive), he was of the believe that "Abacha never stole"!


Nothing will come out of this NNPC scam...it is a buharist that is involved!

By the time the dullard Buhari finish with you people, una legs no go dey straight again. Buhari is a scam, he only came to power for one thing, (OIL)
