Says if Buhari insists on NNPC having two accounts, then Buhari must have stolen the 2.8 Billion dollars in 1978

"The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has responded strongly to the allegation of fraud levelled against it by former Head of State and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), saying such claims were untrue.

The Corporation, in a statement by its Group General Manager, Public Affairs, Ohi Alegbe, on Friday in Abuja, described Buhari's allegation as “political mischief”.

It further stated that if by making the allegation in his acceptance speech at the just concluded convention, Buhari wanted the Nigerian public to believe what he had said, then it might as well be good for him to concede that the allegation of a missing $2.8 billion oil money against the NNPC under his watch as minister of petroleum was true.

NNPC said that coming from a former petroleum minister under whose watch a similar allegation of fraud was made, Buhari’s statement smacks of political mischief as he should know better than to peddle “beer palour gossip as facts.”

Said NNPC: “It is sad that General Buhari, one of the founding fathers of the NNPC who himself has tasted of the virulent but false allegations deliberately concocted to cast the corporation and the public sector management of the nation’s oil and gas industry in bad light, would be the one to allege that NNPC runs two sets of account books, one for public consumption and another for insiders.

“We consider General Buhari’s allegation in bad taste as it is nothing but a deliberate political mischief calculated to cast the corporation in opprobrium all in a bid to shore up his political capital.

“We find it difficult to understand how a former head of state who has also served as minister of petroleum resources could believe that NNPC keeps two sets of account books to perpetrate fraud, knowing that NNPC is the most audited and scrutinised agency in the country.

"In the past one year alone, the corporation has had its books scrutinised and audited by the senate committee on finance and an external auditor, PriceWaterhouseCooper (PWC). Is it possible for the accounting discrepancies insinuated by General Buhari to escape the attention of such internationally-acclaimed auditors? “And in any case, why would an alleged fraudulent corporation keep two sets of accounting books knowing that such could be used as evidence against it?.”

The statement continued: “We hereby state emphatically that NNPC neither keeps two sets of account books nor is aware of the existence of such as the corporation is run in line with international best practice.

“If General Buhari believes such false information that are usually the subject of beer parlour gossip was true, would he rather that the Nigerian public believe that the allegation of missing $2.8 billion oil money against the NNPC under his watch as minister of petroleum was true?”

It therefore asked the Nigerian public to discountenance the allegation as there was no iota of truth in it."

I stand my ground, buhari will never rule this country!!! GEJ till 2019!!!

OP, why did you modify the subject to suit yourself and your paymasters?!

SO,IN CONCLUSION ITS JUST A PROPAGANDA TO CLEAN THEIR NAME BY USING BUHARI'S NAME AS HE DIDN'T STEAL THEN.

a presidential aspirant who begins his campaign with accusations and quarrel, rather than what he will do to provide solution to peoples problem, is not fit to be a president. Infact, he is a myopic fellow.

Buhari is absolute evil.
Nigeria's biggest mistake would be having an extremist in Asorock.

yeah we have tried clueless in aso rock, lets try an extremist

So there was a missing 2.8million dollars during GMB tenure as minister of petroleum, that is why he has AT LEAST 1million in his account.

Let's wait for GMB response

NNPC trying to hold onto the straw.

We've known long ago that that place is corruption personified. So, try harder next time.

Where is the missing $20 billion revealed by SLS?

For u TANiods people, in civilised countries the imcubent is suppose to have an edge against the opponent. He is the one in power, he and his people roll out his achievements that he is currently doing. Thats why is called power of imcumbency. But since u people do not have a single achievement, ur campaign is now based on attacking his personality and name. The more u try the more u convice us that ur man had done nothing to warrant his coming back. U dont want us to make change because he is christian abi, who has his christianity helped. Its obvious those that try to help jonathan campaign end up putting him in more trouble, from his wife, okupe, wike to u ppol taniods

The $20b where is it?
Answer that. Buhari statement is as a result of missing money. Stop spewing rubbish.

You can try him in your Arewa Republic. In my books, GEJ never failed and needs to continue. Former presidents never did up to a quarter of his achievements yet you guys label him a failure just to get him out.

He belongs to a group that feeds this country, frustrate him out and face the consequences.

No campaign promises, the man is dumb, there are over 100000001 things apc can use to campaign without mentioning jonathan, bring out your strategies, and educate the electorates, they rather stay on the media when only 10 percent of the voting population have access to their rant. Most of the people here may not even go to polling unit to vote.


How I wish a political party can spring up from no where, present a credible candidate like Fashola and any northerner. Tired of this GEJ vs Buhari already

This man buhari is not and will never be a saint. If NNPC claim is false, the one I know is not false. Buhari destroyed our Second Republic on 31st December 1983 which took Nigeria into a long journey into slavery by the Military passing the baton around among themselves. His rule then was like a reign of modern day Pharaoh.
If most people has forgotten how will all ran out in jubilation when we were set free by the Babangida / Abacha coup.

@ the bolded...And what became of the same people after about 7 years of Babangida's 'mosaic' rule? Didn't the same people who rejoiced at their messianic Babangida organise violent protests (and riots) to chase him out of power? I'm sure you're too young to remember that. So, what exactly is your point?

u and who will try a man that does not even know basic economics

The Ab0ki can not get his greasey fingers off oil.

Every solution to Nigeria seems to be hidden in oil.

Improving the economy is tied with "stabilizing" the oil price in the international market.

This man get filling station?

Obviously he thinks like the lazy saudis whose only sustenance comes from the oil in the ground.

Only an inattentive fool could have missed his rousing speech at the convention about reviving our manufacturing sector and reducing dependence on imports. He also mentioned job creation and security for the nation. Please try to stay informed.

Even the devil marvels at the corruption in the NNPC.

The $20b where is it?
Answer that. Buhari statement is as a result of missing money. Stop spewing rubbish.

You and Buhari are the ones spewing rubbish. Where is the missing $2.8b, approximately $420b in today's value . If buhari who was petroleum minister when this sum was alleged to have been missing believed the allegation is not true, why then is he peddling the Sanusi's imaginary $20b. This is bare faced hypocracy.

It can only be possible 4 Buhari 2 seat and last on d throne of Nigeria if Jehovah is dead.
