Nice expose.

SnowJay92:
Still that doesn't tell me why Dr Kachikwu is dull, had it been this scandal happened during the last administration, would you have maintained this same stance?

My opinion about him being dull stems from the fact that he did not have a water tight allegation, and also has no evidence of his own that he delivered his memo to the presidency.

I do not support any side, but I only flow with the crux of the argument and what evidence each side has been able to supply to support their respective position.
As such, I tilted towards Kachikwu, but Baru has managed to show that as per the contract approval issue, Kachikwu doesn't know what he is alleging, more so the fictitious values he put on some of those contracts which NNPC has clarified as creative imagination.

Hahahaha!

Anyone who associates with a terrorist group will eventually find their lives at the mercy of same terrorist group.

Goodmorning all "moderate Hutus".

gtrader:
I don't understand this country, is what Kachikwu said in the letter true? This is the question we need answers to not the time he submitted his letter. I remember when Sanusi made comment about missing $20 billion dollars in NNPC, heavens nearly fell, APC used it as campaign point, here they are castigating Kachikwu for saying what was obviously true. Fear APC!

But Kachikwu has not alleged that any money is missing a la Sanusi.

Kachikwu is alleging that due process that should involve his approval, was not followed in awarding contracts and redeployment of personnel within NNPC.

NNPC has since responded with facts to show that Kachikwu's approvals were not required and that the approvals they require were lawfully obtained. They also managed to prove that Kachikwu invented figures for some of the contracts he mentioned, as no value was placed on those recurring contracts. NNPC also managed to prove that Kachikwu was not sidelined in some of the very matters he claimed he was sideline.

Stop putting words in Kachikwu's mouth, as he never claimed money was missing.

At the end of the day, Kachikwu only cried wolf and blemished his own image.

SnowJay92:
Do you know the position that man you just called "dull" held before he came back to serve this ungrateful country?

If he doesn't know the rules and regulations of NNPC, is it the knowledge from being a VP at Exxon that will enlighten him about NNPC?

See how Baru has schooled Kachikwu on the matter of $25B contracts. That shows you the difference between a man who knows the system inside out having grown through it, versus a man who has come at the peak of his career in another organization to come learn the modus operandi of a different organization.

SalamRushdie:
Buhari keeps proving himself to being a fantastically dishonest character in both word and action , So Buhari ordered Kachikwu to resend the memo after denying he never received the previous one ..Kachikwu naively resends it thinking g the conman feom Daura means well and Buhari and his canal immediately use it to their advantage by lying that Kachikwu infact only submitted two days after the leak If you cannot see how dangerous the mind of Buhari is by now then I pity you ..

You must be reading from your hateful heart.

How come Kachikwu could not provide an acknowledgement copy?

Then when pushed to the wall, he claimed he sent it to Daura. Kachikwu is dull and he only embarrassed himself publicly as being ignorant of how the NNPC operates by law.

Pidgin2:
Buhari said he would make the country ungovernable for Jonathan of he didn't win bit see how nemesis has caught up with him

You are an ignoramus.

Was that not the statement credited to a Northern PDP stalwart when Jonathan was seeking PDP ticket for the 2011 elections?

Stop spreading false information. Rule 8.

Did he stop being president because he delegated Osinbajo in acting capacity?

kindklemz:
I use to think Hausas are the only people that can easily be brainwashed until IPOD came up And exposed the shallowness in an Igbo man.

The only thing that differentiate an average Aboki and IPOD is religion otherwise both are as dumb as hell.

Education and exposed wise, an average IPOD is on the same per with an average Aboki.


Just look at what is happening now.
So Nigerian Army is made up of only Hausa Fulanis and they want to kill Igbos by injecting them with poisonous substances .
What kind of dumb reasoning is this.
Chai!
Ignorant is bad.

Is there any difference between Northern almajiris and Eastern almajiri?

IPOB truly helped to unveil the hidden idiocy that was already an epidemic in the SouthEast.

kettykin:
@zoba88 you have just misfired and it might boomerang soon with heavy court cases and a hefty fine (which you will not be able to pay) with an option of a long stay in Jail facing you.


Please dont be a scape goat , Biko , i dont want to spend my useful time fighting for a youth who has misplaced priorities , Enough said !!! be warned !!!

Court case because you reveal the factual past of a politician with hard and incontrovertible evidence?

Are you sane at all?

OP, continue in your noble duty to inform the electorate about their supposed leaders.

What manner of human being agrees that her race are all ugly, just so she can suck on banana?

EFCC is not the civil service to decide whether the laws and regulations that govern NNPC operations favour Baru's stand or Kachikwu's stand in this debate.

Let the respective relevant authorities (BPE, office of the HOS) clarify the already existing regulations and contradictions that each party is making their respective stand on.

Ultimately, Buhari's grip on the Senior Petroleum Minister position, has created some of these conflict we currently have. If he was formerly ignorant of the consequences of his de jure position, he has now become well informed.

Kachikwu knows he is the de facto petroleum minister, so Baru too should not rely too much on technicalities to sideline him in the affairs of the NNPC.

As for allegations of unilateral appointments into NNPC, that should be thoroughly investigated too.

Too much attention was put on a phantom missing funds by PDP, allowing the real matters of the memo to be swept under the carpet

SalamRushdie:
They are just Internet gangsters whose service goes to the highest bidder ..didn't you notice they withdrew their services for some days and only returned with verve today after their demand for increased wage was met

Are you also one of those who deny their education and embrace ignorance, in a bid to win an argument?

Are you one of those looking for monies that nobody claimed was missing?

Are you one of those who having seen the facts released by the NNPC, would rather hold on to ignorance so as not to admit defeat?

An ignorant Femi Fani-Kayode, claiming to know NNPC and the oil industry more than the industry stakeholders?

This dude should learn to shut up on matters where he is clearly ignorant.

Israel what about the Fighter jets and chemical weapons you promised our Supreme leader Lamidi Cownu ?


We need them to finish the zoo..

Shuku Orike Eponmalu don't forget your promise also

Bros, this wickedness too much ooo. Please show some mercy.

ICC and animal rights must reprimand you for this assault on a baby pig.

1wolex85:
The penalty of your life, has been played to throwing

Yepaa!

I have long maintained that this matter is strictly about power tussle.

On the matter of the contracts, Baru has clearly shown he has the respective laws and regulations in his favour.

On the matter of redeployments in NNPC, Baru has only done what Kachikwu also did when he was GMD and got the approval of the minister of petroleum (Buhari) just like Kachikwu also did when he was GMD.

To cut it short, Kachikwu as chairman of NNPC board, has little influence as the board is not reposed with much power as erroneously assumed by Kachikwu.

Both parties should sheath their swords while Buhari should let go of the petroleum ministry and let Kachikwu function effectively.

Both different parties can contribute their quota to the development of the oil industry. Kachikwu should dare not resign.

As for PDP zombies aimlessly looking for $26B that was never claimed to be missing or embezzled, maybe Reuben Abati is now a disciple of Lai Mohammed

vineyardfarms:
FOR THE UNIONS TO COME OUT IN SUPPORT OF GMD IS VERY TROUBLESOME.

THERE ARE SUPPOSED LAID DOWN PROCEDURES, RULES AND GUIDE LINES IN AWARDING CONTRACTS. WHERE THESE CONTRACTS ADVERTISED IN ANY NATIONAL NEWSPAPERS, RADIO ETC. WAS THERE ANY OVERSIGHT WHO ARE THE CONTRACTORS THAT WON THESE CONTRACTS WAS THE COST EFFECTIVE, VALUE FOR MONEY
WAS DUE PROCESS FOLLOWED

THESE ARE FUNDAMENTAL NATIONAL ISSUES THE UNIONS ARE TOYING WITH, INSTEAD OF BRINGING BOTH PARTIES FOR AMIABLE SETTLEMENT TO SAVE THE CORPORATION.

MAY GOD HELP AND BLESSED NIGERIA

All you have stated was done and all approvals came from the expected authority.

Kachikwu did not read the rule book to understand what powers the NNPC board had versus what powers the NNPC tenders board had.

Baru has brought out facts to disprove all of Kachikwu's allegations, without whining that someone hates him because of his religion or tribe.

The GMD said both the NNPC Act and Public Procurement Act vested procurement powers on the NNPC Tenders Board, the President and the Federal Executive Council (FEC) depending on the cost threshold, stressing that the NNPC Board had no role whatsoever in the process.

“I know for those of you who are following what we are doing here, you know that there’s no money lost and no process has been breached. Our contracting process is perfect and we will continue to follow the process. The NNPC Board has no role, I repeat, has no role as far as the contracting process is concerned”, Dr. Baru emphasized, adding that the NNPC Tenders Board was made up of the GMD as Chairman and the Group Executive Directors as members.

On the crude term contract and the DSDP agreements, he explained: “These are not contract as such, they are essentially pre-qualification of off-takers of crude oil and in the case of DSDP, of those that will take crude and give us products in return. So there is no value to them. But humongous figures have been put forward mainly to incite the public, it is most unfortunate”.

On the allegation of lop-sided promotions, the GMD asked the union leaders if their members felt disenchanted to which the unionists chorused a resounding “no”.

Kachikwu should apologize for not having his facts right, and move on.

In this power struggle, the GMD has the laws in his favour.

akosanwafo:
No wonder. She needs to brush up on her History. It's clear that she is completely clueless about her father's role in the January 1966 Coup.
Let her study a bit of history and her father's ignoble role, and why no one in the west mourned him, and gave him a pariah status

Then she will not come out to spew this kind of rubbish and make a big fool of herself here. Her father was cunning and ambitious and betrayed his own people and was instrumental to the deaths of other Yoruba military officers in 1966.
You can't whitewash history.

Her father played no role at all in any coup.

Fineman87:
Guy. You are obsessed with kanu and ipob. You need deliverance.

I am satisfied with how the federal government resolved his madness.

But I am unhappy that the SouthEast governors are yet to rehabilitate misguided youths like you, as promised.

dokiOloye:
did anybody burn anything?
Word of advice,d IPOB Imbroglio is a political problem and should be given a political solution not a military solution.

Does Kanu sound like someone who is sane enough to be engaged in any discussion?

What of the legal problem of his bail which the government wanted to challenge after he repeatedly and wantonly breached the conditions? He threatened to march 2 million of his supporters to Abuja and commanded them to burn down the country once they hear he has be arrested (lawfully).

That is not the kind of person anyone in the sane world would dialogue with. Most importantly, he wields no constitutional authority to demand for any political dialogue.

The only power he had was his singular vote, just like you and I. He is constitutionally recognised as representing himself only.

dokiOloye:
Those of U rejoicing over d murder of unarmed civilians in d east should read d history of this man.
He was d one who conducted python dance at Odi in Bayelsa state as chief of army staff.
Soon after,he fell out of favor wt Obasanjo,was sacked and another python dance conducted in his village,Zaki Biam in Benue state.
In fact,4 of his relatives who ran to his country home for refuge were killed right inside his house by d same army he recently commanded.
Malu run go abroad,turn to evangelist and human rights crusader sharp sharp.
In essence,what I'm saying is that what goes around comes around,only they might come in d form of herdsmen etc,cos Buhari,the wahabi dominated army and d well armed and protected herdsmen have been proven to be d same ppl.

What you have said is very true, but must a government watch and allow anarchists burn down the country?

Would a sovereign Biafra tolerate such?

ninocia18:
It's disheartening how shameless these men are. The worst thing that can happen to us is to take sides or bring tribalism into this. How can two grown men who are heading an institution not know the whereabouts funds entrusted to their care? See how they just come online and be parading their irresponsibilities. I don't blame you people sha. Continue.

You are the one aimlessly looking for missing funds.

Kachikwu never said funds were missing. He only challenged the authority of the GMD to approve contracts he felt fell under his own financial approval.

The GMD and NNPC have since provided evidence that they got what they consider by facts to be the necessary approvals before such contracts were awarded. Hence they are saying they do not need the approval of the NNPC board that Kachikwu heads, and they have provided their factual evidence to support their own position in this argument.

No money is missing, no stakeholder ever claimed such, and yes contracts have been awarded.

Kachikwu truly used his own hand to fall his own hand.

Kachikwu despite being the previous GMD of NNPC, did not fully understand how the NNPC functions as regards to contracts and procurement.

Kachikwu should just apologize for brewing a storm in a tea cup, and everyone moves on.

However, Buhari needs to fully hand over the ministry to Kachikwu, to stop all this unnecessary conflicts of authority.

Kanu is an affliction on those who have the misfortune of associating with a mad man.

libertyhope2017:
Foolish afonja...Ikwerre is the same as Igbo language; they understand each other. I'm not talking about an Igbo man speaking yoruba like I do but doesn't make me a yoruba. An Igba or Egbado Yoruba man may have subtlety in yoruba language from a Yagba, Igbomina, Owe even Ife or Ekiti Yoruba man, but they are still yorubas and understand themselves in a larger context....THAT'S THE SAME AS IGBO AND IKWERRE

Most Fulani and Kunuri speak Hausa as their tribal language. Does that make them Hausa? Most Igarra in Edo speak and bear Yoruba names, but they tell you unlike the Akoko-Edo, they are not Yoruba.

All the same, my initial post was to correct the wrong assumptions of the poster who called Delta old East instead of old West.

libertyhope2017:
Did you not listen to Wike and Ikpeazu talking in Igbo? This is the kind of afonja masterminded division that made an Ikwerre man chase a yoruba man in Igwuocha in 2015, and flogged him with chain. He almost killed him if not for bystanders and police. The yoruba man kept saying "I didn't know you were Igbo, I thought you were Ikwerre. The Ikwerre man told him " You will know I'm Igbo today"

Many Northerners talk in Hausa, but that doesn't make a Fulani or Kanuri or Tiv or Igala to become Hausa.

dionflex:
Ifeanyi is an Igbo Name So Delta Gov Igbo.

and sorry Delta Was in Midwestern Region

It was old Western region from pre-independence and post-independence before it became Midwest in 1962.

So I am right.

Bede2u:
Igbos are governors in all 5 SE states and 2 SS states and people say the old eastern region is dead?

But Delta that has one of the SS governoships is not even old Eastern, but old Western Region.

As for Wike who is Ikwere, the Igbo debate ensues.

Indeed it has been, and very disappointing I must say.

Kanu is Okanlawon!

He has received the baton from Ojukwu and has outrun every living thing he has encountered on his way.

As Jonny Walker keeps walking, Kanu also keeps running.
