President Bola Tinubu has been urged to sack the Group CEO of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited Mr. Mele Kyari.
In a protest letter authored by the All-Progressive Congress Solidarity and Development Forum addressed to the Senate president Godswill Akpabio and Speaker House of Assembly Tajudeen Abbas, the group accused Mr. Kyari of incompetence and maladministration over his failure to fix the existing refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna.
“Kyari’s continued leadership is detrimental to NNPCL and the Nigerian populace. It is time for new leadership that prioritizes accountability and efficiency,” said the letter signed by Comrade Kabir Matazu and Danielsi Momoh.
“We demand a clear roadmap for the revitalization and operationalization of our local refineries to ensure self-sufficiency in petroleum products and reduce reliance on imports.
“The National Assembly must enact and enforce strict regulations to prevent the importation of substandard petroleum products, protecting the health and safety of Nigerians.
“We urge the President Tinubu to appoint a qualified individual who possesses the integrity and expertise necessary to navigate the complexities of the oil sector and restore public confidence.
“We call for the immediate establishment of a committee to investigate the ongoing allegations of sleaze and fraud under Mr. Kyari’s leadership. Furthermore, we demand that he be held accountable for any misconduct and handed over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for prosecution.
“As the representatives of the people, the National Assembly must rise to the occasion and fast. Mele Kyari should be gotten rid of with dispatch. And NNPCL should be repositioned for optimal productivity, transparency and accountability.”
