Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mele Kyari, to the presidential Villa over
the suspicious N3 billion slop oil sale is a welcome development.
The CNPP, in a statement issued in Abuja by its Secretary-General, Chief
Willy Ezugwu, insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari should summon the
courage to institute a public enquiry into the fishy deal.
According to the statement, “the Presidency has taken the right step by
summoning the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Mallam Mele Kyari as
reported in the media but President Muhammadu Buhari must go beyond
secret enquiries.
“We demand a full open investigation into the matter.
“The CNPP and a coalition of national civil society organisations had
issued a statement of the development. A petition to the Economic And
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is already being worked out.
“However, we strongly commend the presidency on the first step it has
taken.
“Every individual and group involved in the disposal of the 30 million
litres of slop oil through backyard public procurement procedures must
be made to account for their deeds”, the statement read.
