Ibe-kachikwu
A coalition of civil society groups, Children and Women’s Rights Network (CWRN), has raised the alarm over the activities of faceless but determined forces which are mounting strategic challenges towards ensuring that the fuel scarcity situation presently being faced across the country is prolonged.

In a statement yesterday, the Executive Director, of CWRN, Moses Adedeji, the cartel which is unnerved by ceaseless monitoring and the involvement of security agents in tackling pipeline vandalization and fuel distribution are fighting back to ensure the queues remain at the filling stations.

According to Adedeji, President Muhammadu Buhari and the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr Ibe Kahikwu, must note that since erstwhile managing director of the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC), Mrs. Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue’s widely-reported declaration of December 27, 2015, towards involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and the Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agencies, in the fight against vandalism, some high-level oil sector cabals have mounted a campaign against her presence at PPMC.

Nnamdi-Ogbue had disclosed that the Police, EFCC and the DSS would soon be involved in the prosecution of pipeline vandals during her official visit to Mosinmi Depot and Ajebo pipeline in Obafemi Owode local government area of Ogun state.

She also stated that trackers would soon be mounted on trucks carrying fuel from depots to filling stations across the country, as part of measures to check diversion of the product.

The coalition which called on Kachikwu to carry on in his service to Nigeria and ignore the faceless group demanding that he removes forthright officials like Nnamdi-Ogbue, noted that with Nigeria at a critical juncture in history and in spite of prevailing challenges, upright officials who work tirelessly towards achieving a paradigm shift in the face of entrenched impuity and needless intrigues, must be supported.

Commending the restructuring of NNPC towards increasing productivity and efficiency, the coalition called for the need to deny corrupt persons and unscrupulous cabals a foothold in the on-going process of change and progress.

Noting the new effort to attack Nnamdi-Ogbue’s integrity, the coalition stressed that her approximately three decades of work experience within Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) organisational structure and her academic accomplishments do not reflect any form of soiled record

Mr Patriotism, I have seen you.

So from blaming GEJ and PDP, it's now blaming sabotage and cartels. Which kind people b dis sef? Wen GEJ mentioned cabals and sabotage, d APC did what dey do best. Now dey've seen d realities on the ground and all dey still do is blame? Dis current scarcity have been lingering way before the unbundling or restructuring of the NNPC.
