You know nothing...what Buhari has been doing using Kachikwu as minister and GMD is wrong...the minister should chek the activities of the GMD...holding the two positions were against the law setting up the NNPC.....
I don't think he would have a appointed someone else except his broda aa GMD sha...
Pmb disappointing in all ramifications..chai

But the Ibos shouldn't cry foul, they had a fair share during GEJ's tenure and Nigeria did burn.


GEJ's Tenure
President - South South Bayelsa
SGF - South East Ebonyi
Deputy Speaker- South East Imo
Deputy Senate President - South East Enugu
Minister of Finance- South South Delta
Minister of Petroleum - South South Bayelsa
Minister of Aviation - South East Anambra later Osita Chidoka
Minister of Health- South East Ebonyi
Minister of Works - Onolememen
Minister of Power - Nnaji later Nebo
Minister of Labour - Emeka Wogu - Abia

All these happened under the hero and the South Westerners never shouted as you all are now. I guess you now know how it feels when you're left out of your entitlement.

What a lame argument.

Were those not ministers? Is each state of the federation not constitutionally entitled to a ministerial slot?

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the composition of the Board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), as provided for under Section 1(2) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Act of 1997, as amended.
The new board is composed of the following:
A. Chairman-Dr Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum;
B. Group Managing Director- Dr Maikanti Kacalla Baru;
C. The Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Finance; and
D. The following six persons:
1. Mallam Abba Kyari
2. Dr Thomas M.A John
3. Dr Pius O. Akinyelure
4. Dr Tajuddeen Umar
5. Mallam Mohammed Lawal, and
6. Mallam Yusuf Lawal.
President Buhari urges the new board to ensure the successful delivery of the mandate of the NNPC, " and serve the nation by upholding the public trust placed on them in managing this critical national asset."

Well, there is no way NNPC's board can be constituted without Kachikwu's removal as GMD because it would set up a ridiculous scenario of him reporting to the chairman of a board in one of the "parastatals" he is supposed to be supervising. It would be awkward if not absurd to have Kachikwu as GMD on one hand, another person as chairman of the board of NNPC on another and still retain Kachikwu as Minister of Petroleum.

However, GMD is the real deal while Chairman of the Board is nothing short of a celebrated figurehead. But he is still the minister so that would keep the GMD in check(I hope so). However, if people like Kyari(more of Buhari's eyes on the board), Akinyelure and John (who is a former NNPC GMD by the way) together with the new GMD are against him, and consequently report directly to Buhari, then Kachikwu is as good as an observer.

In a nut shell, with the caliber of people on the board and their political connections, I would say Kachikwu's hold on NNPC has been considerably weakened.

I came to look at the name of the person he replaced him with, And I wasn't disappointed, Buhari can't conceal his nepotism, favouritism and bias. Since southerners aren't qualified, according to zombies, Let him continue appointing the core northerners who are more qualified. See the BOARD OF DIRECTORS, 80 percent core northerners too, No federal Character. I remember many Buhari Ass-lickers saying Northerners are more Trustworthy, Seriously; Zombiesm is worst than terrorism.

I dey laugh those my people wey think say Buhari na man of integrity and unbiased grin grin man of integrity my ass.

It was Buhari that appointed Kachikwu tho

I beg leave them, trying to make wailers see reason works as well as trying to baptize a cat.

Kachikwu is the Minister of state, and in the real sense of it ,the Fed minister of pet. even (Buhari is just a figure head, or gate-keeper if you will). And he is also the chairman of the board (Kachikwu calls all the shots), if he were a northerner, the same set of people wailing will be the same set of people convulsing northern agenda. How a GMD supersedes this is beyond me, or why he should also be the GMD.

OTOH, the list is a fairly balanced one: 4 southerners vs 5 northerners.

Wailers, SMH. undecided





You honestly think Buhari is just a figure head in the Ministry of Petroleum? You honestly think the Chairman of the NNPC Board calls the shots? Kachikwu is the new figure head, probably still there to retain ethnic balance. Decisions can be made without him because he neither wields independent executive power (as Snr Minister) nor takes decisions that affect day-to-day activity (as GMD)

Which federal parastatal have you heard of where the Chairman has an executive power?

PMB did not sack Kachikwu, he only promoted him. There is no way the post of Group Managing Director
can be greater than Chairman of the Board of the NNPC and Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum.

Though PMB Has not been fair with appoinments so far!

With the new appointments of Buhari/Tinubu/Danjuma men on the NNPC board Kachikwu has automatically been relegated to a mere commissioner errand bomboy.

Major decisions will be taken above his head cos those in the inner circle/caucus will henceforth decide course of actions though he'll still be the 'face' of petroleum ministry.
