PRESS RELEASE.

ExxonMobil’s Continuous Impudence; Why Akwa
Ibom State Government Should Reject Those
Refurbished Vehicles.
I have read on the website of ExxonMobil of their
seeming act of benevolence, donating
Ambulances, other vehicles, beds and medical
supplies to support Nigerian Covid-19 response,
Akwa Ibom State inclusive.
While many will applaud and appreciate these
apparent kind gesture from a Multinational that
is exploiting our mineral resources and
contributing less to the development of the core
oil producing communities, as a Representative
of the people from this region in the National
Assembly, it is important to state that these
provisions from ExxonMobil is another way of
insulting the sensibilities of Akwa Ibom people.
I am aware that the oil giant, has never procured
used or refurbished vehicles for their own
operations or for their staff for that matter. I find
it therefore, very worrisome, why they should
donate to Akwa Ibom State government,
refurbished abandoned vehicles that they used
for numerous operations in their different
facilities across the state about 20 years ago or
thereabouts. The excuse of using them for
contact tracing is laughable and demeaning. The
beds and mattresses donated are not even fit for
the worst correctional homes and are a complete
eyesore and disservice to the avowed standards
of Exxonmobil. If they could do this with
vehicles, how do we trust the test kits donated?
Akwa Ibom state government deserves the best
of medical equipment, vehicles to commensurate
their tranquil working relationship with
ExxonMobil in the course of their operations in
the region to support the fight against Covid-19,
but they choose to spite us with used
refurbished vehicles, poor quality equipment and
retrenchment of indigenous workers. We would
have thought that they had learnt lessons after
the poor showing in the distribution of the $
50,000 palliatives last week and make restitution
but no, they choose to rub salt to the injury.
I hereby call on the Akwa Ibom State
Government to reject those refurbished vehicles,
antiquated beds and dirty mattresses until
ExxonMobil learn to deal respectfully with her
host State and Communities.

Look at few of our so call youths; I know in this forum we have many Jambites roaming around but unfortunately they don't want to read and learn rather they are very good at throwing insult at any reasonable person.
Leave the messenger and attack the message.
Exxon Mobil is a multinational company, the question is, Can they distribute this same refurbished cars to their Country - USA?
This type of reasons make foreigners to come into our country and exploit our natural resources with reckless abandon cos they know that we can't do shi.t.
After all we are all divided and greedy.
God help us all.

Who is the country chairman or president of exon Mobil? I want to know if he is a Nigerian
That's how Chevron became a problem to her staff immediately a Nigerian became the head of operations.
Most times they are the ones carrying out these acts of foolishness.

The politician is an entitled idiot. Exxon Mobil doesn't owe you anything. The legally acquired the right to drill oil, pay taxes and employee people. The idiotic politicans switch the conversation to the companies so they dont have to answer what they did with all the tax revenue they generate.

They donated used equipment in united states. If anyones feels they deserve the best just buy it yourselves. What are you doing with the taxes that you dont already have these things to begin with? Lol these clowns can find billions to build a church but cry over ExxonMobil gifts.

ZooMontana’s good fortune continued today when ExxonMobil donated a lightly used Honda four wheeler to the Billings based nonprofit.  The vehicle came equipped with a snow plow, helping the Zoo clear their 2 miles of paths after a snowfall.  During the summer months, the vehicle will be utilized by the zoo keeping staff to haul supplies.

Akwa Ibom did end up rejecting the vehicles but the kept the other donations.
