Look at what yoy are saying this man. They have awarded contract worth $28billion and you say no money is missing.the contracts that could worth such amount dont you think they would have at least made some partial payment for execution and the rest of it. please they should bring our money or else stop the charade of fighting selective corrupt


don't be silly. nobody took your money. contracts were awarded without the right process. all it takes is an investigation. if confirmed the contracts are revoked and the offenders prosecuted. stop polluting public space, no one took your money.[/quote][/font]

PDP STAND ON KACHIKWU REVELATION

NNPC’s 25 Billion dollars scandal and the hypocrisy of Buhari’s anti-Corruption War

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) wishes to express our shock at the loud silence of President Muhammadu Buhari on the humongous corruption scandal and other illegalities currently being exposed at the nation’s cash cow, the NNPC in which two of his henchmen, the Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu and the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Maikanti Baru are the dramatis personae.

2. As a political party, we expect that the President, who prides himself as an indefatigable corruption fighter, would for once try to live above board, by genuinely allowing one of his own, accused of corruption, get properly investigated and prosecuted as a show of his impartiality in the war against corruption.

3. He should do this to correct the open impression Nigerians have about his so called anti-corruption war; that it's just a tool of persecution of perceived enemies.

4. We view the allegations leveled against Baru by Kachikwu as too grave to be swept under the carpet and we insist that the NNPC GMD must be treated like an accused who should not have the opportunity to influence investigation into his alleged misdeeds.

5. In this light, we demand an immediate suspension of the NNPC GMD so that proper investigation can be carried out by the relevant anti-corruption agencies.

6. Ordinarily if there was sincerity in the anti-corruption war , President Muhammadu Buhari should not have waited for any prompting before he takes a decisive action on this matter, but as customary with his administration, we suspect that he's trying to shield Baru as he did for Babachir Lawal, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) whom he merely suspended to allow the hullabaloo generated by the fraud perpetrated in the management of the emergency fund for the IDPs, die down. Also up till now we have never heard anything again about the millions of dollars and billions of Naira discovered at an Ikoyi apartment.

7. Nigerians have not forgotten the acts of illegality and double standard perpetrated by the president in refusing to hand over Babachir Lawal to the EFCC for proper investigation and possible prosecution for graft, but rather, preferring to give the task of investigation of the open sleaze to the Vice President, in a move not known to any law of this nation.

8. Even at that, the report of the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo led committee is gathering dust on the shelf of the President because he probably could not bear to see one of his closest allies punished by the laws of the land, even when all facts show that blatant and unbridled theft was perpetrated by the president's man.

9. The sum involved in the NNPC scandal is $25 Billion. Less than 10% percent of that ($2 billion) is involved in the so called arms fund allegedly converted by the former NSA for which hundreds of Nigerians have been arrested and hounded. Nigerians can now see the hypocrisy in the so called anti-corruption fight. We may as well say that the privileged class of APC members enjoys total immunity from the anti-corruption campaign.

10. Tired of this double-faced corruptions fight and cover ups we demand an immediate commencement of investigation into this latest exposed sleaze by another of President Buhari's men.

11. We have been saying this for months that the looting of the nation's resources under this administration is record setting in the history of this nation and we are being proven right on daily basis by the little revelations that are being made by even those working under the administration.

12. We wonder what the stench will be when the real and hidden atrocities being perpetrated under the watch of President Buhari are finally exposed when Nigerians throw the APC government out of power in 2019.

13. The sum of $25 Billion said to have been the subject of the latest controversy, when converted to Naira is about N9 Trillion, a sum that is bigger than the nation’s annual budget.

14. This we find, is one of the very many reasons, the nation’s economy has nosedived under the inept administration of the APC.

15. The allegations raised by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources is a confirmation of our earlier stance that the APC administration is in tatters, an administration without coordination, but one planted firmly in the hands of a few cabal who are stealing the nation dry while the President continues to feign ignorance of the sickening stench.

16. If not, how on earth can President Muhammadu Buhari justify a situation where a minister he appointed to serve under him, presiding over an important sector like the oil sector be turned to a mere house-help who must get clearance from some "outsiders " before accessing the president? How on earth will a mere MD of a corporation have the temerity to sideline a minister under whom he works and take decisions without consultation with the appropriate authority. How on earth could the NNPC GMD have been bold enough to sideline the entire board of NNPC and take such far reaching decisions that have grave implications on the nation’s economy alone?

17. We suspect and our suspicion is reinforced by the unfolding events that powerful people at the corridors of power are tacitly involved in this. If the President’s powerful Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari could sit on the NNPC board and such a calamity is taking place without an eyelid being blinked, we are forced to believe that the stealing is being done to the advantage of the president who has shown by his body language that the only thing that matter most to him for now, is his second term ambition.

18. Will it be considered a "hate speech " if we say the money being stolen by President Buhari's men are being kept aside into a special pool for the prosecution of his second term ambition?

19. We challenge the president to prove us wrong by allowing his allies being caught up in acts of brazen stealing of our commonwealth, get punished in accordance with the laws of the land. Anything aside this, we will take as confirmation of our suspicion that the rottenness is from the very top.

20. We demand as bonafide Nigerians, an express order from President Muhammadu Buhari to the NNPC GMD asking him to go on compulsory leave so that investigation into the matter at stake can be conducted without interference.

21. We also demand an order from the President to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and other anti-graft agencies to immediately commence investigation into all issues of corruption levelled against Baru, as well as other persons who might have overtly or covertly participated in the illegal act.

Much as we commend the National Assembly for indicating interest in probing the allegations against the NNPC GMD as approved in the adoption of the motion moved by Senator Samuel Anyanwu at the Wednesday plenary, we wish to appeal to the leadership of the Senate to prevail on the Ad-hoc committee set up for the purpose of the investigation, to make their sitting open to all Nigerians so that nothing will be surreptitiously swept under the carpet.

22. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) reiterate our support for the drive to eliminate corruption from the workings of the Nigerian government, but we hold firmly to our stance that the APC Government under president Buhari must lead and live by example.

23. We say no to soft landing to corruption; and corrupt members of the APC government. We say no to double standard in the fight against corruption.

Long live the PDP
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria

A junior Minister writes to a senior Minister in the same Ministry to appraise him of internal affairs and you are talking something else.

Bros,i am from the south and always anti to any of your post because we never believe in the same ideology but today you said my mind.

Kudos to what you said aside the area you called my brother's from south east "mud republic".

Back to the topic, The so-called senator Maeba should reason with his head not anus because from what i read Kachikwu has exhausted every avenue he could use to contact the president and from the way he sounded in that letter, you will know he is frustrated and neglected too.

The minister was right.

He was frustrated.

Baru behaved as if he is the presidency.

Obviously baru is "part" of the presidency.

I have told you guys that Nigeria has only two tribes, two religion and two region and they are the rich and the poor, the common interest and no common interest and the political alignment and non political alignment.

Coming from a Senator from Rivers.
I believe the letter stated that Ibe has tolerated the GMD negligence for a while now,thereby the need to inform the President about it.
But the public are judging the issue based on Kachikwu revelation while no one is actually considering Baru point of view
Series of unanswered queries issues would have helped kachiku for making that last decision but I doubt if he has ever written a single official query to Kanti
