The Group CEO of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, has been embroiled in yet another financial scandal. Reports alleged that he has spent at least N20 million to sponsor falsehoods against Lagos-based prophet Primate Elijah Ayodele in the media.

Primate Ayodele had, in a video, advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to dismiss Mele Kyari as CEO of NNPC if he wanted Nigerians to pray for him, as the national oil company has performed poorly under Kyari's leadership.

In response to Primate Ayodele’s advice, Mele Kyari launched media attacks against the prophet by disseminating articles full of falsehoods and bribing media practitioners to publish them, aiming to protect his reputation from ‘embarrassment.’

Unfortunately, these deceptions were exposed when a blogger discovered that the content shared against Primate Ayodele was a rehash of what Femi Adesina, a former spokesperson for ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, had similarly used to attack Primate Ayodele in 2021 while defending the former president.
