brainpulse: That my friend is a lie. GEJ asked Sanusi, NOI, Deziani and their teams to sit down together and get to the bottom of the allegation of missing the 49billion dollars raised by Sanusi. He was only sacked after he came up with a different figure after that meeting and it became obvious he wanted to play to the gallery for political gains. We all saw how it panned out. Did any of the subsequent audits validate any of his claims? NO! |

It is good the junior errand boy has spoken now and is good also to have people to educate you on what say to defeat the senior errand boy. What i don't understand is why some people feels that they are the only one to take control, this is the reasons we have washed our dirty linen for the world to see,What a shame. Baba jebu says education is no Wisdom. I can ser restructuring is on already going on, the advantages which pa Unongo said they will not leave is the process that is in place now.

CeterisXVII: Oh lord *face palm* This is what is supposed to constitute the NTB based on Baru's write-up. Table 2: Composition of Tenders Board (SGF Circular (iii) above) Ministry Chairman Permanent Secretary Members Heads of Departments Parastatals Chairman Chief Executive Members Heads of Departments Except Baru was having a brainfart moment similar to you. BPP clarified according to this same write-up that the chairman is the NNPC GMD and the members are the GEDs. The GGM procurement acts as the Secretary. Based on the forgoing, PMB in whatever capacity cannot make approvals of the contracts because he does not belong to the NTB whether as president or Substantial minister. So NNPC GMD and his GEDs will sit and approve contracts as they please except it exceeds a certain amount and in that case they can defer to the FEC for approval? Who do you suppose represents their interest at the FEC? President Buhari? **** 1 Like 1 Share |

Eruditor: There was nothing bigoted about my post. If you chose to read it that way, it means you have a problem. Can't help you with that. You still need to think deeply. You were the first to allege that I should cringe and think deeply in your first post to me. I merely asked you to follow your own advice. Kachikwu constituted the tenders board and chaired it as GMD until he left the position in 2016. Suddenly, it is now wrong for Baru to chair the same tenders board as GMD and award contracts just as Kachikwu did, using the tenders board when he was GMD NNPC? Very funny. Hello Mynd44, your attention is still needed to sanction this poster called Eruditor for breaching rule 2 again. He used the phrase 'godforsaken life' in an attempt to bully, provoke and insult a Nairalander. Thanks. agabusta: 1 Like |

CeterisXVII: You can't knock a good man down. Kachikwu did not constitute the NTB. He simply submitted the issue to the BPP for clarification which they did. Recall, he did that in his capacity as Minister of state and NNPC GMD. So yea, when he was chairing the NTB he was also doing so as a Minister - not just as the GMD. It is not wrong for Baru to chair the NTB. It is however wrong for him to pretend he is following the letter of the law by sidelining the Minister and then going around to seek approval from the President. That is one. The rest of your rejoinder is you merely regurgitating Baru's half measures at covering his gaffe. 1. If NTB approve contracts without the state minister then no rule allows them to seek presidential approval except eye service. 2. In the situation that the FEC approved of the contract - who tabled it before them? 3. Kachikwu's approval was sought after and he turned around to say he was not consulted? How can we reconcile that Einstein? 4. Yes, BPP claimed the NNPC board is different from the NNPC Tenders board (NTB). The issue is the NTB constitutes of the GMD and the GEDs, so they only call the shots with no oversight from anyone. Authorities unto themselves! Judge and Jury all in one - it is cringeworthy. So they are not saying anything new. The NTB should have constituted the Minister, Perm sec etc as well as the GMD and GEDs. Since Dr. Ibe was occupying both Minister and GMD, it did not matter that the BPP claimed only the GMD should be part of the team at the time. And Baru knows that having been a GED in the past. Deziani's approval was sought after when she was the Minister and please don't try to discriminate between Substantial and State. I have just shown you that BPP did not mention either of the two. |

EruditorII: Has Kachikwu come up to say he did not constitute the Tenders board and he did not chair it as GMD NNPC??! The BPP referred to the SGF Circular and advised NNPC on those who should be members of the Tenders Board, and NNPC as headed by Kachikwu at that time followed their lead. Baru continued from where Kachikwu stopped. He did not reconstitute the Tenders board set up by Kachikwu. As there was nothing to suggest he did so. Baru continued to use the Tenders Board to implement approved contracts, just as Kachikwu had done. If the board should have included the perm sec etc., why did Kachikwu not include them when he was setting up the Tenders board? You are just trying to defend Kachikwu who has goofed. Period. Let Kachikwu come out to say he did not constitute the tenders board in its' present form, and Baru was lying. For Baru to say Kachikwu was aware of the contracts, there must have been something in writing to support that assertion. Kachikwu was never both Minister and GMD initially. He was just GMD NNPC. Kachikwu later became Minister of State a few months later. Buhari has always been the Petroleum Minister. He never relinquished the post. Nothing in the NNPC Act recognises the role of Minister of State. For you to say he was both GMD and Minister, means that you cannot see anything wrong in him holding both offices, even though there is a likelihood that he could have abused the powers he had. 5 Likes |

CeterisXVII: You don't know if the Perm sec was not in those NTB meetings at the time. Also, Kachikwu was the acting minister so we would never know if the minister would have been part of that board. What that means is as long as Kachikwu held those 2 positions - the Minister (state) and GMD constituted that board. Therefore, to sideline Kachikwu under the pretexts of following after what transpired before Baru's tenure is simply daft and mischievous on his part. Afterall, when Kachikwu was approving contracts as you put it we can conclude that vicariously the Minister (State) and GMD were present through him. |

EruditorII: Where is the proof that the Perm Sec and others were members of the Tenders Board at that time??! Where? And Kachikwu set up the Tenders board using the same composition that the BPP had advised. It was not wrong at that time, right? But it suddenly became wrong after Kachikwu stopped being GMD and Baru took over. 3 Likes |
Re: Maikanti Baru Responds To Ibe Kachikwu's Corruption Allegations by EruditorII: 8:22pm On Oct 09, 2017 |
CeterisXVII: Buhari being the minister is nomenclature. He was never involved in the day to day runnings of NNPC- Kachikwu was and YES he occupied both positions before Baru was announced as the NNPC GMD. Whether it was wrong or right to hold both positions at the time is immaterial now because the gist then was that there was always a subtle rift between the Minister and the NNPC GMD and PMB attempted to rectify that by bridging both positions. Obviously, he later received contrary advice and appointed Baru NNPC GMD which many felt whittled down Kachikwu's influence in the sector but PMB refuted it and claimed he had vested all his powers to Kachikwu. Which is why Baru's acts of insubordination did not go unnoticed. 1 Like |
Re: Maikanti Baru Responds To Ibe Kachikwu's Corruption Allegations by EruditorII: 8:29pm On Oct 09, 2017 |
CeterisXVII: The proof is even in Baru's rejoinder. The board constituted of the Minister, Perm Sec, Chairman (listed twice), members etc. This aspect was taken to the BPP for clarification to which they said the NTB should pertain to only the GMD as chairman and his GEDs as members. Now I am telling you that even as this clarification made no sense, Kachikwu could still work with it because he was also the acting minister and NNPC GMD rolled up in one. But the moment he was appointed State minister and head of the NNPC board it was wrong in the very tenets of common sense for Baru to sideline him in the runnings of the sector or corporation and pick and choose when to involve him. After all, that same NTB as constituted by "Kachikwu" and clarified by BPP did not include even PMB so Baru had no business (save mischief) in getting some approvals from him. |

SaintMorris:He did not thief, kachikwu was only angry that he has been side line in the affairs of nnpc, buhari gv him to much power b4, by making him gmd, group chairman and minister of state. But now he's just minister of state and doesn't have much control as b4, so I guess he's angry hence he made up those allegations. I still blame buhari tho, he should have just made kachikwu minister and all this wouldn't have happened. 1 Like |

With this detailed explanation from NNPC, it is safe to conclude that Kachikwu was only throwing fits and tantrums like a jealous child. He should know the limit of his power or quit to join his brother, Kanu. Perhaps he could be made GMD of radio biafra if Kanu fancies him. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Maikanti Baru Responds To Ibe Kachikwu's Corruption Allegations by CeterisXVII: 9:17pm On Oct 09, 2017 |
EruditorII:You are still trying to rewrite the whole thing to fit your script. Kachikwu did not constitute the Tenders board as advised in the SGF Circular, he constituted it as advised by BPP. There is no regulation that says Kachikwu's position as Minister of State gave him the right to adopt the BBP's advice, and do away with the Perm Sec in the Tenders Board. There is no evidence to suggest that he followed the SGF guidelines, and included all the following people listed below. He only included the GMD and GEDs: Ministry Chairman Permanent Secretary Members Heads of Departments Parastatals Chairman Chief Executive Members Heads of Departments Even if he was Minister of State (not substantive Petroleum Minister, as that post was and is still held by Buhari), why didn't he include the Perm sec, and a rep of the Petroleum Ministry? Did the fact that he was Minister of State (a position not even recognised by the NNPC Act), negate the need for the Perm Sec to be in attendance? The Heads of Depts were already represented by the GEDs, and the MDs of the NNPC parastatals/subsidiaries. But Kachikwu saw nothing wrong with it. After Kachikwu relinquished the position of GMD NNPC, he was Chairman of NNPC Board and could no longer preside over the Tenders Board, as the Chairman of the Tenders board was meant to be the preserve of the GMD NNPC who was Baru. The same Tenders Board that Kachikwu set up and used to approve or implement contracts, is the same one Baru used to implement contracts and receive approval, yet Kachikwu is claiming Baru was at fault for doing so. It is just a case of sour grapes from Kachikwu's side. It has been explained quite clearly the kind of projects or contracts that could be passed through the NNPC Board, and the ones that had to go through the Tenders board. The NNPC governing board is quite different from the Tenders board. In fact making Kachikwu both GMD NNPC and Minister of State, was a blunder as too many things were concentrated in one man's hands. What checks and balances were in place when Kachikwu held both roles? Yet, nobody complained at that time. Kachikwu is just piqued that he lost the powers of awarding contracts that he used to have as GMD NNPC, and so he is trying to take out his frustrations on Baru. It is clear that Kachikwu is a member of FEC, so how can he also claim ignorance of the contracts that were approved by FEC? Why is Kachikwu claiming he was sidelined? Baru says explicitly that Kachikwu knew about these contracts. Furthermore, contrary to the assertion of Dr. Kachikwu that he was never involved in the 2017/2018 contracting process for the Crude Oil Term Contracts, Dr. Kachikwu was in fact expressly consulted by the GMD and his recommendations were taken into account in following through the laid down procedure. Thus, for him to turn around and claim that “…these major contracts were never reviewed or discussed with me…” is most unfortunate to say the least. Baru also had every right to get approval from Buhari, as Buhari was (and still is) the Petroleum Minister, and under the NNPC Act, there is clear provision for getting approval from the Petroleum Minister. What is required is the processing and approval of contracts by the NNPC Tenders Board, the President in his executive capacity or as Minister of Petroleum, or the Federal Executive Council (FEC), as the case may be. There are therefore situations where all that is required is the approval of the NNPC Tenders Board while, in other cases, based on the threshold, the award must be submitted for presidential approval. Likewise, in some instances it is FEC approval that is required.I am waiting for Kachikwu to come out after this rejoinder and say Baru was lying, or that all what he said was wrong. Until then, everyone else should wait and watch. 2 Likes |

murtalaa: I think i agree with you on this. Was Baru lying? I don't think so. I believe that after he lost the job of GMD NNPC and the powers that went with it, Kachikwu felt he was left out of the loop. He didn't realise that the role of GMD NNPC carried more clout than he expected. Let us face it, the Minister of State has no duties or powers except the ones given to him by the substantive Minister, who happens to be Buhari. 2 Likes |

bigfish3k:You obviously did not read the whole NNPC rejoinder issued by Baru. The law or NNPC act does not make provision for a Minister of State to interfere in the daily activities of the corporation. It also gives the GMD powers to get approval directly from the Petroleum Minister ie Buhari. As long as everything is routed through tenders board chaired by the GMD, he is in order. Kachikwu was the one who set up that tenders board and he used the same structure to get contracts approved when he was still GMD of NNPC. 1 Like |
