Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu opened a can of worms when he disclosed the fraudulent schemes in the NNPC, courtesy Baru, the Group Managing Director of the Corporation. TwitterNG has had incredible fun dissecting the implications of the leaked memo, discussing Kachikwu’s future and explaining what this says about our President.

[In case you missed it]: “Kachikwu’s days are numbered | TwitterNG reacts to the leaked memo”

This thread explores a different angle altogether. This section of Twitter is convinced President Buhari’s hands are super soiled and his anti-corruption talk is just that- talk.

Come along:

Town Criers at work

These are the companies engaged by @NGRPresident Buhari regime to lift crude, most companies linked to CoS Abba Kyari and Mamman Daura pic.twitter.com/A4EMP8pXQA

Nigeria would never progress with this nepotism. Dubious contract were awarded for futile exploration of oil in the NE part of the country.

Baru not satisfied awarded another contract for exploration in Sokoto basin.

These are just ways to milk the country of scarce resources

NNPC GMD Baru is a Buhari front for looting money for the 2019 elections. Custom Boss is another Buhari front of looting. @segalink @Tutsy22 https://t.co/1SKGXwMS0P

Tinubu/Ameachi funded more than 90% Buhari's election in 2015. Buhari planted fronts in lucrative sectors to loot & fund his re-election.

Ole buruku

In 1977,$2.8 billion was discovered missing in the NNPC…..guess who was Minister of Petroleum?

— Tomide (@MrTomide) October 4, 2017

PMB has a history of financial scandals at the Petroleum Industry
Commissioner for Petroleum – N2b
PTF Chairman – N25bn
Min for Pet – $26bn

₦25B got missing when Buhari was Chairman, PTF under Abacha, $26B is missing now that he is President & Minister 4 Petroleum, He is a THIEF

— Oluyemi Fasipe ?? (@YemieFASH) October 4, 2017

You forgot the N2b under Gen.Obasanjo in the 70s when he was commissioner (Minister) of Petroleum.Fela sang about it. https://t.co/u5iOyd3KKp

This has always been the case from 1984, PTF Days and now. Same players. I wonder where the false integrity narrative came from.

Buhari's honesty and integrity are as fake as his electoral promises & mandate. Everything about Buhari that is good is a lie pic.twitter.com/f20RACpykJ

One Nigeria scam

Imagine the NNPC GMD sidelining the Minister. Northern hegemony at work. Buhari's nepotism cannot allow for the best hands in any parastatal. This administration failed before it started.

— Oke Umurhohwo (@stalyf) October 4, 2017

Baru is sidelining the NNPC board, Hamid Ali is doing the same in Customs. Rudderless Governance.

— Ayobami (@dondekojo) October 3, 2017

From Maikanti Baru to Lawal Daura to Hameed Ali and Abba Kyari…

You can see how these Buhari inner caucus members are scattering things and ignoring due process

— Oke Umurhohwo (@stalyf) October 4, 2017

Poor Kachikwu

Don't mind them! They diluted the message and provided a fertile ground for the easy exit of Kachikwu. The leak was a setup

Is Jesus coming?

The Looting currently going on in PMB's Govt is with a very high sense of urgency, as if Nigeria is coming to an end.

Hypocrites

In the good old days, APC fanboys would have changed their handle to GEJwhereisour$26Bn.. And e for don dey trend.
