…Pleads with President Tinubu to intervene
By Mercy Adi
The Arewa Youth Assembly in a firm statement has described the continuous attack on Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, as sponsored by insiders. and called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently intervene in ending the ongoing incessant attacks.
The Speaker of the Arewa Youth Assembly, Mohammed Salihu Danlami made the call in Abuja, via a press statement he signed where the group also called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently intervene in ending the ongoing incessant attacks.
Mr Danlami explains that these attacks are sponsored, perfectly planned and orchestrated by insiders, some of which he termed as senior members of the management staff who are desperate to take over the GCEO’S position. “They are actually envious of the gigantic reforms and restructuring brought by Mele Kyari. So they are fighting back, it is always normal for corruption to fight back”.
He also explained that most of these senior staff driven by their selfish and unpatriotic desires, have resorted to used all known tactics to cast asperion on the person of the GCEO.
“they have sponsored media campaigns, slander, blackmail and have gone as far as organising protests against the GCEO”.
Danlami further seeked the president intervention. “ to this effect we call President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently intervene and put an end to these senseless and baseless attacks. They are impacting negatively on the GCEO, distracting him from the on going reforms and because of the importance and centrality of the NNPCL to the economy of this country, these attacks are also injurious to the economic reforms and restructuring of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as well as to the Promise of renewed hope agenda,” he concluded
