Contrary to speculations making the round that President Bola Tinubu has directed the suspension of Mallam Mele Kyari as the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd, there is no such directive from the President.

Presidency sources confided in THE WHISTLER on Saturday night that the President has not given such directive for the suspension of Kyari as NNPC Boss.

Social media platforms were abuzz on Saturday evening with several posts claiming the President had directed the immediate suspension of Kyari as NNPC GCEO.

The social media posts of the purported suspension of Kyari gained traction as it was coming barely 24 hours after the Presidency announced the suspension of Godwin Emefiele from office as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Multiple sources in the Presidency told THE WHISTLER that there is no such plan to suspend Kyari as the GCEO of the NNPC.


One of the sources said, “We got to know about the purported suspension through social media posts. But I can confirm to you that there is no such directive coming from the President. Nigerians are known to play a lot with trends and someone may just have sat down somewhere to make such posts.

“There is no iota of truth in that post claiming that the President has suspended the NNPC GCEO. There is nothing to be worried about because the Petroleum Industry Act is clear on how the NNPC GCEO or any member of the NNPC Board could be removed.”

When contacted, an Aide to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation told THE WHISTLER that they have not received any of such directive from the President.

“Please disregard those reports because they are fake news. We don’t have such directive from the President to suspend Kyari,” the Aide said.

The source said the Presidency will not dignify rumour mongers with an official response.

The rumoured immediate sack of Mele Kyari has been reportedly denied by the Presidency so people should let the man focus on his job.

Mele Kyari is actually a very brilliant administrator and he has steered clear of partisan politics unlike the embattled Mr Emefiele who went as far as paying N100m to buy the presidential nomination form of the ruling party while still a substantive CBN Governor.

The balls have sagged

It would have been strange for Tinubu to sack a Fulani. I'm not saying that it can n ver happen.

But typically, people from his side are renowned cowards.

Obi is coming

Hehehe! The sacred cows will always remain the untouchables.

And the APC without qualms, greedily collected the N100m for the nomination form he collected from the party while aware that he was still then the CBN Governor? 🙄

Am sure kyari will never be accused of funding boko haram or bandits. But Emefiele is accused of funding ipob. That's the allegation they hang on every Igbo man. They did that to Obi.
Unfortunately Ifeanyi emefiele is not igbo, he is part of the we Niger delta.

Not saying they should not sack him, but they must associate him with ipob.

Kyari is a man of integrity indeed.

Presidency dey fear Fulani. He needs their vote again,u see why him dey beg kwankwaso to be part of his government.

Is Kyari a fulani man?

Obj is a Muslim and GEJ is a Buddhist? Dey play

Lol. You're as naive as they come. Continue singing, that's the only job you've got for the next 4 years. People did it better than you in 2015, today they've lost their force. If Oil theft cum subsidy were cartels, Kyari and his brother Malami would be the leaders. Let me guess, they're from a particular region you dare not criticise.

The write up says that there is a procedure to sack him, was there no procedure to sack the cbn governor?

A very brilliant Administrator and refineries that gulped millions of dollars could not function as we speak. Who and who got the contract for the repair of the refineries. Tinubu needs to probe the contract for the repair of the refineries and ensure funds allocated to it is returned for job not done. Buhari is not a good administrator at all. How could you pump billions of Naira into repair of refineries and it could not function?
