Members of the Civil Society Organisations on Thursday gathered at the Headquarters of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in Abuja to protest what they have tagged ‘End Impunity Now’.


The Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke

The spokesperson of End Impunity Now campaign and convener of the protest, Jaiye Gaskia said the group wants the federal government to take necessary steps to end the corruption in the downstream sector.

The protesters claimed that they will continue their protests in different parts of the country and will submit a petition to the EFCC. They also called on Nigerians to be more politically active.

Mr Gaskia said the protest was to demand the removal of the Petroleum Minister by the president or her resignation as alternative, over her perceived involvement in the fuel subsidy fraud. They are also demanding the full implementation of the subsidy probe report.
Furthermore, the protesters are asking the government to address the security situation in the country and the incessant hike in electricity tariff.

The protesters were however faced with resistance from over 30 armed policemen who refused to allow them access to the premises and who asked them to get a permit from the Abuja Police Command before they can hold the protest.

The protesters however argued that there is an existing law which allows Nigerians organise protests without police permit.
As at the time of publishing this report, the protesters have been dispersed.

NNPC REACTION

However, the acting spokesperson of NNPC, Fidel Pepple in a telephone interview said “the NNPC has reinforced its commitment to ensuring the values of transparency and accountability and has nothing to hide. The corporation will be available at all times for public scrutiny of its records.”

Mr Pepple observed that the protesters have exercised their fundamental human rights to peaceful demonstration.

Lets be frank to ourselves. If the one woman was actually part of the cabal, she wouldn't have pushed GEJ to remove subsidy.
Those behind the corruption are stated in the report i.e. the executives from 2009-2011.

yes,i support this protest its gettin too much,always lying to us and nothing is changin even the other female head tie minister too

I support this but i hear say the woman and GEJ are lover back in university. so that love is still there. and who knows may be kid don dey self

Ojota park is open to the cretins.

talk true: Lets be frank to ourselves. If the one woman was actually part of the cabal, she wouldn't have pushed GEJ to remove subsidy.

Simple.

Its the cabal fighting back and some Nigerians being foolish enough to support it. The situation is like a man whose house armed robbers raid with the intent to also ra'pe his wife and kids; instead of the man to hide his family, he becomes the one telling the robbers which members of his family will be the best for their nefarious purposes.

she remains d best tin to happen to that ministry

It is not wise to criticise people without credible evidence. Unfortunately, there is no where to get credible evidence from. Company records are falsified, Newspapers can only publish so much truth so they dont lose their sponsors. You cant exactly google for evidence. Nevertheless i dont have to be wise to express my displeasure. SACK HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Billyonaire: Can you mention with factual evidence just 1 crime she has committed ? Just 1 fact with evidence

Do u know dat 2 organizations under her watch have conducted recruitments since 2010 which are yet to see the light of the day even though they are included in the budgets...THE NNPC and DPR

I will join the call for Diezani's sack anyday someone comes out with a credible evidence of corruption against her apart from all these sentiments been whipped up by the cabal. This is a woman that has brought about critical and groundbreaking reforms in our energy sector. THISDAY NEWSPAPERS rated her as a superlative performer(see SUNDAY THISDAY OF May27 th 2012) and this rating is based on hard undeniable facts.

always lying to us and nothing is changin even the other female head tie minister too

head tie minister lol

What kind of lame thinking is that? Is it only when one comits a crime that they are shown the way outta office? What crime did the NSA and defence minister commit b4 they were shown the door? What hard evidence was there to prove that Oniwon commited any crime? She's incompitent, too much curruption in the ministry she heads.broaden the scope of your understanding of the machinery of administration, it would do you alot of good buddy.

This is primitive, reprehensible and despicable.
You are as worthless as a creature scrapped from the toilet floor.

Why don't you go to Aso Rock to sack people then? Keep sacking by mouth on NL, until your mouth falls through your hairy arse.
