Good one sir.

There is always a primary & secondary cause of death in autopsy. In anyway this is becoming a big case for the Adeleke family as all eyes are on the police force.

- The recent NNPC scandal has led to widespread criticism of the federal government

- There have been mixed reactions with some defending President Buhari while others condemned him

- Part of the contention is Buhari's appointment of Maikanti Baru and the rumor that more northerners are being appointed

As the recent Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) scandal continues to fester, a group has warned Nigerians to desist from blackmailing the minister of state for petroleum resources, Ibe Kachikwu.

The group, Accountability Vanguard said the attempt by the NNPC and some Nigerians to blackmail Kachikwu is condemnable.

The group also said the NNPC has only failed to address the issues raised by the minister in his protest letter to President Muhammadu Buhari.

There has also been criticism of President Buhari's appointments being one-sided. The Facebook page named 'APC News TV' has attempted to debunk this rumor.

Bad news for some people

Has I always believed, there is a strong motive behind this letter by Kachikwu

Ibe Kachikwu, minister of state for petroleum resources, submitted his controversial memo to the office of President Muhammadu Buhari only after it was leaked to the media, TheCable can report.

Whereas the letter — dated August 30, 2017 — leaked on Tuesday, October 3, 2007, he submitted it only on Thursday, October 5.

Buhari was said to have been surprised that he had not seen a letter supposedly written to him before it appeared in the media. He immediately raised an internal query on its whereabouts.

The registry of the chief of staff, which takes delivery of official mails for the president, denied receiving any such letter from the minister.

In standard public sector practice, all incoming mails are stamped “received” with date, time and signature of the receiving clerk all recorded. An acknowledgement copy is then given to the sender.

Kachikwu was asked by presidency to provide an acknowledgment copy of his letter, TheCable understands, but he said he could not find it, further fuelling internal suspicion that there was a political slant to the controversy.

ONLINE VERSION

He was then directed to submit another copy, which was received and stamped “received” on October 5.

However, the formatting of the letter he submitted on Thursday was different from what was circulated in the media, although the substance is the same.

In the new copy, the last paragraph on the opening page had four lines, whereas there were only two lines in the internet version with the other two lines “jumping” into the second page, TheCable learnt.

On page 6, the subheading of the first paragraph was “STOP” — but this was not in the online version.

It was also said that his story became inconsistent along the line.

In the fresh copy Kachikwu sent to the office of the president on October 5, he wrote in the covering note that he was “re-sending” what he had earlier sent “to the registry of the chief of staff”, but TheCable understands that when he was asked at a security meeting on Tuesday, he said he actually sent the letter to Daura, where the president had gone for the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.

NO MEETING

The president does not have official mail receiving facility in his hometown but sources said Kachikwu might have requested someone to hand-deliver it to him and the courier might have failed to do so.

Kachikwu, who complained in his memo about insubordination and humiliation by the group managing director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Maikanti Baru, in the widely publicised letter, was at the presidential villa on Friday, October 6 — ostensibly for a meeting with the Buhari.

Although it was reported in the media, TheCable inclusive, that he met with Buhari that day, it has turned out no such meeting was held.

TheCable confirmed that he was only able to meet presidential aides and that was why there were no pictures with Buhari and he did not make any comments to the State House media on the visit.

However, an angry Buhari ordered Baru to reply Kachikwu’s letter through the media since that was also where he read the minister’s complaints.

Buhari, sources told TheCable, believes the letter was meant to embarrass him because as the petroleum minister, he, and not Kachikwu, has the supervisory function over NNPC.

CONTRACT AWARDS

Baru was specifically instructed to explain the contract-awarding process at the NNPC under the procedures established by Kachikwu himself when he was GMD.

The NNPC, in a statement by Ndu Ughamadu, the group general manager (group public affairs), on Monday denied Kachikwu’s allegations and maintained that no law had been broken in the contract awards, most of which were not on cash basis and could not be valued as done by the minister in the memo.

But the corporation was silent on the issue of key management appointments which Kachikwu complained were made without his knowledge.

Aso Rock insiders also dismissed Kachikwu’s claims that he was denied access to the president which he said forced him to write the memo.

“The president was away on medical leave from May 7 to August 19. While still settling in, he went to Daura for the Sallah break, and not longer after that he went for the UN general assembly,” a senior presidency official told TheCable.

“Kachikwu dated his letter August 30th. When was he prevented from seeing the president? Kachikwu had been doing a lot of travelling, from the Netherlands to Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Washington DC and other places all the while.”

TheCable tried to get in touch with Kachikwu but he did not pick his calls or respond to messages all throughout Tuesday.

Kachukwu was only angry because he wasn't allowed to have absolute 100% control

Such a young promising life wasted at a prime age because of bad company and friends that are not concerned about your future.
Too bad, you made your parents that have invested their lives in your life weep when they're supposed to be joyful.
A lesson to the young ones.
RIP

Dont argue or drag with any law enforcement officers. It's even worst in America

But GEJ government constructed and repaired all the roads in Nigeria

Good one from the Nigeria police

Must you join one of the two major parties to exercise your right.

I understand sha. God bless your hustle and stay focus.

Good & brilliant move. NCC is working.
See levels o, so all this small children Wey they look for likes and first-time to comment na 1gb dem dey buy . Yet post rubbish everytime. Still have accumulated 200gb on my WiFi to always roll over.

simijimi:
24 months!!
That is two years and where were they?

Including the ones Wike has been collecting, the person wey dash you sense gave you a cockroach one

Haaaaaaa! Wike owing 24months salary is devilish. Upon 13% derivation, Federal allocations, Paris club intervention fund and huge tax from multinational companies.
Who are mine to ask, when goats, pigs and idiots are very happy the way he is ruining their lives.

Good work

Hope no life was lost

When Fashola was shouting that the Senate reduced the budget for the finance of the road despite huge debt owed the contractors by the past administration which his ministry has to pay, the same anti progress Nigerians were happy because it's against this administration, but they never knew that is coming back to hunt the masses.
Monies owed the contractors by GEJ government was the first thing they were settling before the Senathieves reduced the budget for nonsense constituency allowance.
I believe when loan from the sukuk bond is implement, work will start fully again.


Kindly find below major 25 roads the Sukuk loan will fund

With Wike the rogue

CeterisXVII:
Very, very correct!! And even the explanation Baru gave shows how each step was followed, and even how the financing and approvals for the contracts were obtained. If Kachikwu had gone through the processes deployed in awarding each contract and found flaws in them, he would have had a better case, instead of just making sweeping allegations. In fact, Baru's response has weakened Kachikwu's stand. Let us wait for Kachikwu's reply. I tell you this drama is better than a Nollywood movie.

Brilliant

Bigii:
Your moniker speaks volumes of you.

You need a brain doctor to drain those pulse

Analytically It's only pigs, goats and idiots that cant make intelligent comments but grunts, blet on others.

libertyhope2017

When pigs don't read, they go in the mud like idiots to dirty others, although they are still even worst than goat when they can't make their comments.

CeterisXVII:
Oh, I love this. The facts are beginning to emerge. Wind don blow, fowl nyash don open. We are eagerly awaiting Kachikwu's response to Baru's new comments. Oya, make una start part 2!

Kachikwu said Baru was awarding contracts anyhow, and he didn't know anything about those contracts.

Baru has replied Kachikwu that most of the commercial transactions you call 'contracts' and you think needed to be routed through you, were actually not contracts. So there are actually none of your business. Secondly, approval for the ones that were contracts whose sum were above a certain level, could come from the FEC. Thirdly, you Kachikwu were well aware of those large sum contracts even at FEC level, since you are a member of FEC, so how can you turn round to say you now know nothing about them?

Oya, let Kachikwu respond. Part 2 of this drama promises to be sweet!

Exactly you got it

I must confess, this is a well detailed and packaged sound response quoting facts and figures with events and present underlying conditions.

As it is always said, there is always the second and third story to every issue, and its not the first to break the silence that is justified.

I like the role the presidency played against pressure to act without giving the opportunity to the other party to respond, this shows maturity against when GEJ sacked sanusi without investigating.

So the next thing is for an independent body to look into these weighty allegations and give recommendations to be acted and implemented.

In addition.

---

The way NNPC is structured now from what I read, it will be difficult for one person like Diezani to take absolutely decision & control of major contract unlike before.

Some one is annoyed that he doesn't have absolute power and influence in taking control as he personally wanted, but the man should understand what the act says and stipulates. I believe the act is the best for the industry.

So that people will not see the nonsense he's doing. Just a water fountain probably in one hotel to deceive people.
