Former President Jonathan Officials Accuse Buhari by sultan457: 1:24pm On Jun 27, 2015
Some members of the outgone administration of
President Goodluck Jonathan have said President
Muhammad Buhari was out of order by dissolving
the board of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC), contending that, according to the
“Petroleum Act,” the board stood dissolved the moment
erstwhile Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, left
office.
Two members of Mr. Jonathan administration, who spoke
on condition of anonymity, told SaharaReporters that there
was no reason for President Buhari to send a letter to the
board of the NNPC to dissolve. “That act [President
Buhari’s dissolution of the NNPC board] is null since there
was no board in place after the former Petroleum Minister,
Diezani Alison-Madueke, left office,” said one of the
sources.
Mrs. Alison-Madueke, who constituted the current NNPC
board, officially lost her cabinet position on May 29, 2015
when former President Jonathan’s tenure ended.
A second source, who served on the disbanded board,
claimed that Mr. Jonathan’s administration left $5 billion in
the kitty for the incoming Buhari government. He said the
funds were yielded by dividends from Nigeria’s sales of
liquefied natural gas.
Last weekend, Babs Omotowa, the chief executive of the
Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas Company (NLNG), claimed
that the company paid $1.6 billion in dividends to the
Buhari government. However, one of the two sources who
spoke to us claimed that said the amount was $5 billion. He
added that President Buhari was either hiding the correct
amount paid to his government in order to justify his claim
of inheriting “an empty treasury” or that the NLNG was
playing a game on Nigerians.
The NLNG is a joint venture between the Nigerian
government and multinational oil companies.

NLNG, Better not be playing games with Nigerians. i'd suggest the current capital in the Nigerian national treasury should be published in national newspapers for the public to kno the real culprit in this case.
