Fresh revelations have revealed the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) connived with a cabal of persons to sideline Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Minister for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu in making signficant decisions at the NNPC, whilst the President was on medical leave earlier this year.

A report by online publication, Premium Times unveiled the fact that $1.78 billion (N640 billion) in oil contracts were approved by President Buhari at a time the President was on medical leave in London and had handed over the reigns of government to his deputy, Osinbajo.

The N640.8 billion contracts (at N360/$ exchange rate) were approved when Mr. Buhari was receiving treatment for undisclosed ailments in London, and when he was not supposed to be exercising presidential powers, having named Vice President Yemi Osinbajo acting president in a formal correspondence to the National Assembly, Premium Times reports.

In his memo to Mr. Buhari, Mr. Kachikwu stated that when Mr. Buhari was unwell in London for several months between May and August, Mr. Baru tried to get direct approval from Acting President Osinbajo for some personnel changes at the NNPC.



But Mr. Osinbajo asked Mr. Baru to go back to Mr. Kachikwu and get his input and approval first before making the changes. Mr. Baru refused to consult Mr. Kachikwu on that.

For weeks, the changes were not made, until Mr. Buhari returned on August 19. By August 29, Mr. Baru announced the changes.

This prompted Mr. Kachikwu’s letter to the president on August 30, complaining that he learnt of the development in the media.

Sources at the presidency corroborated Mr. Kachikwu’s claim that Mr. Osinbajo rebuffed Mr. Baru’s attempts to get presidential approval behind Mr. Kachikwu.

The best way to make money in Nigeria.... Don't do blood money... Be a boss at NNPC

Even the 'coordinator of government' got a dose of the tyranny .

Sincerely its just Buhari own that pains me cuz he is not as bad as envisaged, but when a man is floored by big problems smaller ones too takes advantage.

I'm not even one bit surprised! The greed of the ancient cabal members will be buharis undoing! Unfortunately the grandpa really seems to be at their mercy! So he should get ready to live by the cabal and also die by the cabal!

Afonjas were siding with Baru, but all of a sudden have switched sides. Why? There own Osinbajo has been mentioned to have been sidelined too. Until something affects them, they don't give a Damn if it's affecting other people.

Na old news na.. Chief Orchestra of d cabal Opera Abba Kyari is in d heart of everything

lol...


I can only laugh at the confusion of those that have sold their birth right for crumbs in order to support every misstep this 'regime' makes.


when they defend one nonsense with a lie, two issues come up to expose the lie they told to cover up the first one.


but being the shameless clowns they are, they twist the narrative & end up confusing themselves...

dis matter don tire me. GMB wont do Baru a thing. unless we dont know him. the truth is that GMB is nt in d know of that shady contract but the northern element and their blind supporters are using his name to cover and obvious crime
