President Buhari Cannot Clean Up Nigeria if He Cannot Clean Up the NNPC

President Buhari Cannot Clean Up Nigeria if He Cannot Clean Up the NNPC

A new report on Thursday said despite President Muhammadu Buhari’s attempt at ensuring transparency in the oil sector, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, still withholds billions in oil revenues from the government account.
The report by the Natural Resource Governance Institute, titled “NNPC still holds blank check” said that within the first six months of the Buhari administration, the NNPC withheld over $4.2 billion (about N824.7 billion) out of a total of $6.3 billion (N1.24 trillion) revenues realised from crude oil sales in the second half of 2015.
The withheld revenues represented about 66 per cent of the total revenue – $1.4 billion earnings from Nigeria’s regular crude oil exports for the period; $3.4 billion from domestic crude oil sales, and $1.5 billion from oil sold from the corporation’s upstream subsidiary, the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, NPDC oil fields.
The report said only $2.1 billion (about N413.7 billion) was transferred to the Federation Account.

I was able to secure her release after 90 days. And she returned by air to Nigeria and rejoined her family in Benin city.

PDP Started the Bloody Political Violence in Rivers State

Recurrence of political violence claimed lives and left many people injured during the federal and state legislative houses rerun elections in Rivers State on Saturday, December 10, 2016.
The do or die politicians in the oil rich state disobeyed the rule of law to disrupt the peaceful conduct of the elections.

The bloodiest elections in Rivers State happened under former President Goodluck Jonathan during the 2015 gubernatorial election, when his wife Dame Patience Jonathan imposed  Barrister Ezenwo Nyesom Wike on the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to succeed RT. Hon. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi as the Governor against the popular will of the majority and then they stockpiled arms for the militants and their political thugs to attack and kill anyone opposed to them.
 Former President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan.

APC office destroyed by hoodlums of the PDP.

Rivers State was a peaceful place until the People's Democratic Party (PDP) turned the state to bloody chaos since 1999 when the  All Progressives Congress (APC) never existed.
2004 and 2015 have been reported as the bloodiest periods in political violence in Rivers State.

The political crisis in Rivers State is caused by cultists who are the political leaders of the PDP; their assassins are made up of militants and political thugs engaged in kidnappings, armed robberies, crude oil theft and illegal refineries in the Niger Delta.
These demonic people don't want to be dislodged from their evil clutches of political power in the south-south.

Anyone supporting them is either a fellow member of their Satanic cults or a beneficiary of their blood money.
