A pan-Niger Delta group, Niger Delta-Northern Youth Coalition Worldwide, has accused the Minister of State, Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu, of working to frustrate the reforms initiated by the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Maikanti Baru, and has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the minister.

President of the coalition, Prince Michael Ekamon, at a world press conference in Abuja on Thursday, accused Kachikwu of dereliction of duties if he had waited for over one year to voice his concerns.

“If the claim of the Honourable Minister, that for the past one year he has been accommodating the excesses of the GMD on such serious issues affecting the lives of Nigerians and the economy of this great nation, he should be fired for gross incompetence and maladministration,” Ekamon said.

The coalition also faulted the Minister of State for the leakage of the memo, noting that, “We urge Mr. President to as a matter of urgency investigate thoroughly the leakage of the memo to the press in the interest of his administration.

“The minister’s vituperations against Baru as contained in his letter could not be unconnected to his frustrations since the appointment of the incumbent GMD; otherwise as the chairman of the NNPC board, he would have treated the matter internally rather than doing a memo to Mr. President. Such action smacks of disloyalty to the person of Mr. President.”

They appealed to the president to give the GMD the free hand to carry on reforms in the NNPC, arguing that as an insider, he has the requisite wealth of experience to engineer the reforms as envisaged by President Buhari.

Ekamon stated that since Baru’s appointment to the NNPC, the country has witnessed efficiency in the supply of petroleum products nationwide, appointments of technocrats into the right positions, and renegotiating JVCs’ to Nigeria’s advantage.

I wonder how stupid the southerners are! Since the inception of this country you see the southerners being willing tools in the hands of the Hausas.

This is pathetic.

You fools should stop blaming every little thing on the president and look for how to be productive with your lives

Herds of evil doers.

"All our brothers and sisters who are ministers and appointees of the 5% and "junior partner" ilk, and who currently labour to sow seeds for a better Nigeria, take heed. When the farm is lush from your exertions and the time for the harvest comes, you may need to start leaking letters to get access..."

What should I do to this Brilliant brother of mine, Kayode Samuel, who churns out such cryptic descriptions of our pathetic lots and disappointing lives.. This is Nigeria's manual of how to get presidential attention, the Ibe Kachikwu model.
