That buhari burdened himself with these responsibilities is laughable. did he think it's a walk in the park? with all these functions and responsibility, it follows that both kachikwu and Buhari should be fired.

There's no way kachikwu should be made a scapegoat without indicting buhari.

fulanimafia:


You're not making much sense here. How do these responsibilities change the fact that it is the NNPC's direct responsibility to import, refine, distribute and supply petroleum products which are currently scarce? Is Buhari the NNPC GMD or Kachikwu?

If he can't stand the heat, he should leave the damn kitchen.

SleekAboki:

All the noise from tinubu only came about cos kachikwu told the reality on ground that would take few months to correct cos he kachikwu had no magic wand? Tinubu intentions were not pure cos kachikwu refused to be the fall guy by coming clean and telling truth? sack him then and employ a rogue that can dance to the tunes of APC like the cbn.

Tinubu seem to always be in the side of Nigerians.
Diplomacy dictates we don't say things that will aggravate the already difficult conditions even the truth.

Kachikwu is a learner and he must learn to respect the masses.

fulanimafia:


There are more tactful ways to pass such a message, there is no debating the fact that the buck stops at Kachikwu's table, and he is responsible for tackling the current scarcity.

You can't be slacking in your duties and be grandstanding at the same time. You will be shown the door.

SleekAboki:


This ludo,amala and gbegiri Tinubu should ask his fulani master Buhari what magic he has performed in the last 10 months? Bloody Ojota cowards who only finds strength when it's GEJ. I blame Gej for allowing a failed ludo player ride on him to Aso Rock.

The Presidency yesterday rose in stout defence of Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu who at the weekend came under scathing criticism by the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu over comments relating to the current fuel scarcity across the federation.

Kachikwu, who is also the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), was reported to have said that he could not perform magic in solving the problem of fuel scarcity , a statement Tinubu considered insensitive and insulting to the sensibilities of Nigerians.

But the Presidency yesterday rose in defence of Kachikwu , saying the minister was speaking the truth when he said that Nigerians would have to wait till May for the scarcity to go away.

Presidential spokesman, Mr Femi Adesina on Channels Television programme: “Sunday Politics,” yesterday said the minister should not be crucified for telling Nigerians the truth.

He pointed out that Nigerians were unhappy with the statement credited to the minister because they wanted him to perform magic which would make the commodity readily available in two weeks.

Adesina, however, stressed that the truth which Nigerians should accept was that it would take weeks before the scarcity would go away.

Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions, Mr. Uzoma Nkem- Abonta has upbraided Tinubu for his criticism of Kachikwu over the handling of the energy crises in the polity.

In an interview with The Guardian, Nkem -Abonta wondered why Tinubu chose to meddle in the affairs of the Petroleum Minister with a presidential mandate to fix the problem in the sector.
The lawmaker who represents Ukwa East/West Federal Constituency of Abia State enjoined Tinubu not to reduce a sensitive issue relating to the management of the petroleum sector into an APC affair

A member of the APC’s Board of Trustees (BOT) from the South West, Jamiu Afolabi Ekungba told The Guardian yesterday that the chastisement “shows that we are operating a progressive democratic government where what is important to everybody is that whatever any of the segments of government is doing is beneficial to everybody. It also shows that the APC is not a cult where things are done in secret while the country, like it was under the previous government, was being destroyed.”

Also reacting, former governor of old Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, said: “From my understanding, Tinubu is a leader in the party and by that, he has every right to speak out if he discovered anything that may likely erode the credibility of the party before the electorate.”

To erstwhile Minister of Transport and a member of the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), Chief Ebenezer Babatope, “I am not bothered by whatever any of them says about the other. What is important is the fact that Nigerians are really suffering.”

In his reaction, a chieftain of the APC in Ekiti State, Olusegun Osinkolu, praised Tinubu for the action, saying it was in the best interest of Nigerians and the APC-led government.

Speaking in defence of Kachikwu, one-time Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Doyin Okupe, said Nigerians abhor the truth.

Okupe on his Facebook account wrote: “The minister of State for Petroleum is a Nigerian I know by reputation only. When he was appointed I actually wondered why on earth will a man in his exalted international position and pedigree come into the murky arena of the Nigerian oil business. It can only be patriotism.”

Toeing the same line, an APC chieftain, Osita Okechukwu, while conceding that Tinubu had the constitutional right to criticise, however, added that the South East zone of the party did not subscribe to the call for his resignation.

Speaking in the same vein, the vice chairman, South-South of the PDP, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, said no one should castigate the minister of state because he had only exhibited courage in telling Nigerians the truth.

highmood:
Kachikwu should resign while the minister of petroleum remains in office right? In as much as I expects the best of any government, i think the statement credited to tinubu is just funny and hypocritical. What stops tinubu as the leader of APC to ask the minister of petroleum "PMB" to resign? I think those who think buhari has the gut is mistaken. He should direct his boldness to the minister of petroleum-the President if he believes heaven will not fall. And those that supported Tinubu on this are just foolishly bold as he his. APC and some of their supporters abhor the truth while calling for Kachikwu resignation. They fail to see the lies of lai Mohammed instead keep mutes about whether he resigns of not.

eshietIntrepid:
Is true he can't perform any margic after all buhari is the head of that ministry, I know where tinubu is speaking from is not his wish to see any igbo man in this govt.

Charly68:
So Kachikwu is right abi,Nigerians are wrong ,totally wrong to have voted for Buhari ..I think we made a mistake indeed..we won't repeat the same mistake in 2019 in Jesus name. Each party should however give us correct & better alternative.we don't need arrogant people in power ..we need those who know & understand the essence of power . Tinubu & co should into deep searching for a better alternative for Nigeria if APC must remain relevant still. We need digital thinking,vision carrying leader that is brain & brown. No room for executive lawlessness in Nigeria

Billygee2u:

listen,Tinubu is playing Ostrich politics, Buhari understands that Tinubu is indirectly attacking him,asking him to resign so that Osibanjo will take over.
he knows that if he goes direct,the Northerners will deal with him mercilessly.

I bought petrol for 155 Naira this morning in Ibadan, this wouldn't have happened, if GEJ had, like Indonesia built a 400,000 capacity Refinery, when he ascended the mantle of Presidency. For just 4 billion dollars, that, he would have done. That's history for now.
Back to reality, the Minister mentioning that, the problem will abate by May, cause the petrol dealer visit havoc on Nigerians, through hoarding, with intent to profiteer. We are Nigerians, and we know ourselves, we like taking undue advantage of any situation. There are information, that are are supposed to be classified, the Minister would have done well, by saying the problem will be over soon, not putting a date to it. The competence of the Minister is not in doubt, even in US, where he was, before answering the clarion call, saying he is not a magician is politically incorrect.
Kachikwu is a technocrat, so he might not be aware of political incorrectness of such a statement, and the implication for the ruling APC. There comes Tinubu, the consummate politician, not waiting for the PDP to take it out his mouth, and gain some political capital. If you're seen rebuking your child in the open, those on the outside will appreciate the fact that, you don't condone nonsense.
Now the petrol dealers know that, we are at their mercy till May, we are really in for a hard time.
The Minister should be schooled in the art of knowing when to classify an information and making political correct speech without a tinge of arrogance.
