When we say a toilet cleaner in USA, Canada, UK, Australia is better than the manger of zenith bank, what we mean is that the toilet cleaner will never suffer what you are currently suffering in Nigeria.

Example include:

A. A toilet cleaner will never queue for fuel.
B. A toilet cleaner is less likely to be kidnapped in those countries
C. A toilet cleaner has 24/7 electricity.
D. A toilet cleaner has access to excellent Medicare.
E. A toilet cleaner is less likely exposed to armed robbers
F. A toilet cleaner eats better food and fruits than your bank manager.
G A toilet cleaner has access to good amenities
H. A toilet cleaner may have his children schooling for free in primary and high school
I. A toilet cleaner has a longer live expectancy than your bank manager in Nigeria.

So why are the others stalling?

If Oando was not owned by a relative of the President, will it receive this express approval?

PRESS RELEASE

@atiku to FG: Explain Why @Oando_PLC Got Accelerated Approval in AGIP/ENI purchase
*Slams @officialABAT over Subsidy Scam, Rights Abuse
*Demands Release of Detained Whistleblower, Bristol Tamunobiefiri @PIDOMNIGERIA

Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has asked the Federal Government to explain why Oando Plc owned by the President’s nephew, got an accelerated approval to buy the onshore assets of AGIP and ENI while other transactions such as the Shell/Renaissance deal and the Mobil/Seplat continue to suffer delays.

The former Vice President also slammed the Bola Tinubu administration for implementing a sham subsidy regime as revealed in the financial statement recently released by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).

“Tinubu visited the FMDQ in New York, visited Qatar, visited France where he told lies about removing petrol subsidies. Obviously, this is not a man who is serious about attracting FDI. More worrisome is that he is not even brave enough to admit that subsidy is being paid. The NNPCL admits that N7.8tn is owed to the national oil company by the Nigerian government.

“IMF estimates that subsidy payments this year will constitute 3% of GDP, which is about $7.5bn. This will be about N11.8tn. Yet, the petrol scarcity continues to linger while the Tinubu administration continues to frustrate the Dangote Refinery and even its own NNPCL facilities. Obviously, the subsidy regime has become an even wider conduit pipe through which monies for funding the 2027 election will come from,” Atiku said.

The former Vice President doubled down on his allegation that Oando was being given undue and preferential treatment in the oil and gas sector to the detriment of more competent investors.

The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last election also knocked the House of Representatives for failing to take proper action on the NNPCL which has now gone ahead to “mortgage the country’s national oil assets to vested interests”.

Atiku said, “Within just eight months, the Nigerian Upstream Production Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) approved a deal which saw the divestment of ENI/AGIP onshore assets to Oando. Within that same period, Nigeria controversially withdrew all litigation against Shell/ENI in the OPL 245 scandal in what has been described as a quid pro quo.

“However, the attempt by SEPLAT to buy Mobil’s onshore assets has continued to stall for the last three years even as the consent letter remains on Tinubu’s table. The deal between Renaissance and Shell continues to stall. In fact, the only deal that has fully scaled through so far is the one involving Oando. We now know why it got accelerated approval.

“Ideally, democracy ought to be government of the people, for the people, and by the people. But democracy in Nigeria has become the government of Tinubu, by Tinubu, and for Tinubu and his family members.”

Atiku added, “In July 2023, the House of Representatives, following the adoption of a motion moved by Miriam Onuoha directed NNPC Ltd to suspend the acquisition of OVH assets pending an investigation by its committee.

“The House ad-hoc committee requested the NNPC Ltd to furnish it with information about registration documents/history from CAC for OVH, Nueoil, and NNPC Retail Limited (NRL), Board Resolution of NNPC Ltd on purchase of OVH, Audited Financial Statement and Management Accounts from 2015 to date of OVH, Nueoil, NRL and NNPC Ltd and the payroll from 2015 to date for NRL and OVH; Board Resolution of NRL/CHQ for movement of head office to Lagos and evidence of Tax Payments for NRL and OVH from 2015 to date.

“The NNPC ignored all these and went ahead to transfer its ownership and properties in its retail arm to OVH, thereby mortgaging the future of Nigerians.

Despite the rot in the oil sector, the head of the NNPC, the head of the NUPRC, and the head of the NMDPRA continue to keep their jobs. This is clear evidence that they are fulfilling the mandate given to them by Tinubu.”

Furthermore, Atiku pointed out that the NNPC lied in its vacuous response to their statement last week, as it is on record that the Kyari-led management appointed Huub Stoksman, a former Chief Executive Officer of OVH Energy, as Managing Director of NNPC Retail, and Mumuni Dangazau, the former Chief Operating Officer of OVH Energy, as his Special Adviser Downstream, long before the consummation of the incestuous marriage of the entitities.

In a related development, Atiku also lambasted the Tinubu administration for the rise in human rights abuses.

The Waziri Adamawa said Tinubu who rode to power over exaggerated claims of being a freedom fighter, had turned against the people by allowing the Department of State Services (DSS), police and even the military to abuse the rights of citizens without any consequences.

He said that in some instances, citizens were arrested in a gestapo manner without the knowledge of their relatives who go about looking for them for several weeks.

The former Vice President said the most affected since Tinubu took office have been journalists whose only crime is reporting the news and exposing government indiscretion.

He argued that the Cyber Crime Prevention Act 2015 had become a tool with which officials in the Tinubu administration were abducting citizens while the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC) had transmuted into the defunct SARS.

Atiku added, “The dangerous trend of enforced disappearances has become a national embarrassment for a country which claims to be practising democracy. On May 1, 2024, Daniel Ojukwu of the Foundation for Investigative Journalism went missing and was presumed abducted by kidnappers until he was later discovered to be in police custody on the orders of IGP Kayode Egbetokun.

“Ojukwu’s crime was that he exposed the corruption of a government official who currently serves in Tinubu’s administration. On July 23, the DSS arrested one Aliyu Sanusi in Sama Road of Sokoto, the state capital for printing and distributing materials ahead of the #EndBadGovernanceProtest. Even the arrest and release of the former BBC Pidgin Editor and current West Africa Regional Editor of the Conversation, Adejuwon Soyinka, clearly shows a pattern, which objective is to intimidate journalists for speaking truth to this government.

“Now, the police have arrested Bristol Tamunobiefiri, who owns the PIDOM Nigeria blog on X, formerly Twitter. After detaining him for over two weeks, he was granted an administrative bail, which will be impossible to meet. This is despite the fact that the Appeal Court, in the case of EFCC V. Emem Uboh (2022) LPEIR – 57968 (CA) held that administrative bail is illegal. Bristol should, therefore, be arraigned in court immediately or released.”

Atiku advised Tinubu to take cases of human rights abuses seriously or Nigeria would remain at the risk of being slammed with sanctions which would prevent western powers from selling weapons, a development he argues could undermine Nigeria’s ability to tackle insecurity.

“Amnesty International still has a pending petition before the Foreign Committee of the US Congress against the sale of weapons to Nigeria due to human rights concerns in line with the Leahy Law. Tinubu would do well to curb these cases of rights abuses by law enforcement authorities who all report to him as commander-in-chief,” the former Vice President said.

Trueprophet91:
And why is it so hard to say?
Were we the ones that told them to arrest him?
Must we be the ones to ask before they tell what happened? You guys are part of the problems

tuzle:
its seems u don't know the case of telegram founder. A lot of popular figure have spoken out that France should free the guy. Even Russia are trying their best to ensure he is free. So I don't see why u brought him here.

Racoon:
I guess the records are clear for all to comprehend now. How can Lagos be worth living in when the Tinubu’s Indian Hemp smoking touts, thugs, alayes, brigands, vandals and miscreants have littered all the hooks and crannies? Lagos remains a glorified slum

Oghene86:
What is ignorance here ? If you know your work there's nothing here, no need for your stupid committee, no they should have sent it to united nation to read. It's a simple transaction of buy and selling in Naira and the mode of payment and terms of payments, there's no big deal there making it look like a very cumbersome activity that the whole world needs to sign before commencement

Oghene86:
You seem to have displayed your own ignorance because it's only one ministry and department which is the nnpcl that's involved in this transaction, you need to go back to school before you come online to support what you don't understand

Oghene86:
Why October? [b]What's wrong with tomorrow, [/b]Tinubu is just president for himself and family, if anyone believes this man has any plans to lift this country from its present situation i sorry for that person.

Yankee101:
A directive was given last month only after Nigerians complained. Now you’re saying till October. You don’t mind that there’s fuel scarcity and very expensive to buy even when available
After all the high expectations of Wale Edun, I’m very disappointed he has been a failure this far with Tinubu

Your educational qualification does not determine your wealth. Dangote is not a PHD holder but he employs so many.
Political office is open for everyone to contest. It's not about education. If the PHD holder thinks he's got the guts, let him contest

Obaaderemi2:
Pig,Slave to tinubu and seyi. Did food just become more expensive in neighbouring countries after your owner tinubu became president? So why did food all of a sudden get so expensive in Nigeria? Why was it cheap here when Jonathan and Buhari were president? So rice too is cheaper in Nigeria than Benin and Togo, or is beans cheaper in Nigeria than niger? Are cattle and goats cheaper in Nigeria than in niger and Chad? You are too stupid for this conversation. Please bleep off.

Obaaderemi2:
Spoken like the idiot he is. Tinubu's policies directly led to the hike in food prices. It has nothing to do with food being cheaper in neighbouring countries. Was food not cheaper in neighbouring countries when Jonathan and Buhari were in power? Idiot, Tinubu got there and immediately food got more expensive in neighbouring countries, if your idiotic mentality is to be considered.

When has the government ever fed Nigerians ? Farmers in most places are even prevented from going to their farms, a thing that has gotten worse since APC got into power and which tinubu has not been able to do anything about after a year in office.

Continue licking ass for #30k. Your eyes go soon clear.

Obaaderemi2:
Is he ignorant about the astronomical hike in food prices also?

You keep defending a thief who doesn't care wether you lived or died. His own children are well taken care of while the children of the citizens toil to eat and live. Tribalism and the fact that you supported him shouldn't make you lose your sense of reasoning. I didn't just support him, I voted for him. But then even a madman should know Tinubu is a wicked ruler who continues to take the country in the wrong direction.

Stone03:
Millions of the people that hit the streets of Nigeria protesting against his government are bad citizens too, right? It's like you just escaped from a psychiatric hospital

MadamVanessa:


At Gololo age, you think he will come out and lie or you think everyone is a usèless pathological liar like Tinubu, despite being old he still lies effortlessly.

Have shame , it's not everything against Tinubu you must defend, gather your fact first.

Stone03:
Has Lagos that took first under Tinubu made Tinubu a good president? You should bury your head in shame measuring the capability of a candidate by the sports record of his state.

flyinnizam:
Around May 15, 2020 which confirms sensible nairalanders theory. Because even majority the humans that voted for Tinubu can't Defend him up and down again after all they are buying fuel, rice, beans, garri, electronics etc same price.
