What law Av u cited so far? Better still, what law did Kachikwu cite in his letter as against the laws NNPC cited in their response?

I have cited the NNPC and BPP acts which validates Kachikwu's concerns on the approved contracts, if you know any law that supersedes what I have cited bring it on.

All lairs shall have their parts in the lake of fire call HELL!

You go defend tire. Zombie.

Please debunk his spokesman. All you have is daft to show case your ineptitude. Shift the goal post like your other wailingredients comrades.

When contacted, Mr Kachikwu’s spokesman, Idang Alibi, confirmed that only the NNPC Tenders Board not NNPC Board chaired by his boss, has the authority to award contracts.

Asked to further explain whether his boss was present at the Federal Executive Council meeting where the $26billion contract was approved, Mr Alibi declined comment, requesting that the questions be mailed to him.

He however did not provide the email address where DAILY NIGERIAN can send him the inquiries.

So you know process more than the VP right?

How much those your brain even worth.?

Don't be in a rush. There have been 3 different stories in 3 less than 1 week. I'm sure a fourth will come out.

Take a chill pill.

kingandamy4life:
So in conclusion the 26billion dollar issue has just been officially closed.
This country is a big joke. So know investigation whatsoever as to how the due process was followed?
So because the vice has said he approved and the matter has been proved of no wrong doing.
I just dont know how unfortunate i am living in this country. God i am tired and cant wait to leave Nigeria to iceland

My brother, and to think some people are OK with that vague explanation beats me.

Blue3k:


Baru didn't need His permission for contracts find new talking point. Just remember to wear a life jacket so you don't drown in your tears. I'll wait for the counter if he has one.



I don't remember him making this claim in his letter.

When due process is ignored then there could be something fishy. Remember Jonathan approved money to Dansuki without following due process and that is why we have Dansukigate now.

FriendNG:
The liars claim money is missing which even Kachikwu did not said so.


How much is our foreign reserve? $30


By force or by fire they want to juxtapose Jonathan $20 alleged stolen fund with Buhari $26.

if 640bn is about 1. 8b dollars, what happened to the remaining 24b dollars

seunmsg:





This is not about Kachikwu but about due process. In my opinion, when buhari handed over and Osinbajo assumed the office of the acting president, Buhari still retained his portfolio as minister of petroleum. So, in the absence of the minister of petroleum, the minister of state should act in that capacity.

Cleverly, the answer to your question is also what i am seeking. Was there a FEC approval for the contracts? Who presented the memo to FEC on behalf of NNPC? Do you think FEC can approve contracts for NNPC without the knowledge of Kachikwu, a member of FEC? He even clearly wrote in his leaked memo that there was no FEC approval.

Finally, why can't Laolu Akande state clearly in this press statement that FEC approved the contract instead of Osinbajo? Is Osinbajo FEC?

You see why should be careful, on what we feed the Public! Kachikwu Never Mentioned FEC in his letter, you can go and read it again! He only complained of being sidelined.

harmless011:

See how you are busy defending corrupt elements, I don't know how much they pay you for this but bear in mind they are toying with your future and you are here applauding them. Kontinue

U mean as Jonathan toyed wiv ur future and that of Igbos?

Clerverly:


I understand your frustrations....you had expected Osinbajo, to deny signing the contracts, to further drive your mission towards 2019?

Kpele! Fayose, Wike or FFK, will soon manufacture another lie for you to masturbate on..

Yes we are waiting, you can only tell people drawing conclusion now

Blue3k:


This issue is dead in my opinion Baru out flanked Kachikwu regarding contracts. He has law, legal precedent, Buhari and Osinbajo both vouching for him. Im just surprised these so called educated people are saying the miney is missing. The letter said it was awarding without due process. The is much more to answer besides those appointments if he hadn't already.

There is always a motive behind any illegal activity and the product of such action is fraud. How can one award contracts of such magnitude without due process and you think there was no sinister motive behind that? How can you know one is educated when you cannot even rationalize simple institutional provisions? What Osibanjo did is unconstitutional and I'll not exonerate him for that as the action is fraudulent, unbecoming of someone of his caliber. The question now is, who approved the remaining #8.36 trillion naira.

ChangetheChange:


Osibanjo approved 640 billion Naira contract out of $26 Billion Dollars.

Who approved the remaining money

Who approved the remaining money left of the $26 billion contract

Only Yesterday NNPC MD Baru told us that Buhari approved those contracts from his sick bed in London

Who is fooling who

Nigeria don enter ONE CHANCE

NO TRUE GOD SERVING PERSON (PASTOR OR NO PASTOR) SHOULD PUT HAND IN DEVILS POT CALLED POLITICS. WHAT A SHAME.

How can Osinbajo approve this kind of money without calling kachukwu to help him verify authenticity. How can illitrates use a profr of law like this. Our people sef.

oga 640bn is only around 1. 8b dollars

sanpipita:


Good now answer this poser if those contracts passed through FEC how come Kachikwu doesn't know about, if it passed through FEC why didn't NNPC/Baru atleast mention it in their response to Kachikwu, if you people are OK with corruption let's just say so, enough of the silly lies.

Being carried along is different from being aware of something....that it was presented to the FEC, didnt amount to Kachikwu being carried along..they just sidelined him with due process.

Then your second question, baru expressively mentioned the contract being passed through the FEC in his rebuttal and i reproduce below:

Typical NNPC Contracting Process

1. Approval of project proposal and contracting strategy by NTB.

2. Placement of adverts for expression of interest in electronic and print media.

3. Soliciting for tender (Technical and Commercial)

4. Tender evaluation

5. Tender approval by NTB for contracts within its threshold; otherwise

6. Obtain BPP certificate of no objection before presentation to FEC.

7. Present to FEC for approval.

All Contracts in NNPC follow the above procedure.

Go back and read Kachikwu's and Baru's letters!

Story needs details but hey due process was followed. The rest of the contract approvalso need to be accounted for. The FEC hasn't come out to deny anything at this point.

Akande said Osinbajo approved the recommendations for the contracts as part of necessary actions to deal with the backlog of unpaid cash calls and incentivise investments.

He added that the approval was given after due diligence and adherence to established procedure.

He said Osinbajo approved the contract in his capacity as the Acting President when President Muhammadu Buhari was away on medical vacation.

PointB:
Hahahaha. Now the Pastor has been coerced to lie to save the skins of economic Jihadists! Well done Pastor.
I hope Kachikwu will also admit presenting the document at the FEC prior to your approval.

Economic jihadists are still better than those who NEVER see any good in economic progress of any kind
Election was lost in 2015 and this is 2017!

Can you avail us the specific act? i mean the sections?

Stop disgracing yourself up and down, that guy you quoted is more Buhari supporter than you are, but he knows when to support a govt and when not to

This drama is getting more interesting. These zombies are probably not aware that the whole world is watching them and laughing at their stupidity.

See the Osibanjo that has been silent all this while is suddenly speaking up to defend his master at the cost of his own ego.

Chai! APC!

Osinbajo is a typical (weak) Yoruba boy boy VP. he will be ordered into Buhari's office and told to "sign here" and admit it!

He is just a Shonekan-level presidential toy.

You are just been silly. Kachikwu claims that the contract lacks FEC approval has remained unchallenged.

Go back to your BMC hut and cook more lies. Zombie.

Lol another daft reply your ineptitude is boundless. The FEC hasn't come out to deny any of Baru'a claims but you hear crying. Lol stop your nonsense he never mentioned FEC with regards to contracts.
