The 2023 presidential flagbearer of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi
has challenged President Muhammadu Buhari and his government to name
those behind the stealing of oil in the Niger Delta.
He also challenged the Federal Government to name highly placed individuals sponsoring terrorism in the country.
Recall that the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Company Limited, NNPC, Mele Kyari, on Tuesday alleged that
high placed Nigerians, including religious, community leaders and
government officials, were fully involved in crude oil theft.
Reacting to the report, the former Anambra State governor, in a
tweet on his Twitter handle, wondered why the FG is unable to summon the
political will to name the criminal elements.
Peter Obi wrote, “I am struck and intrigued by the news report linking “highly placed” Nigerians to oil theft.
“Same has been the case with financing insurgency and Boko
Haram. When will FGN summon the political will to publicly name such
persons?”
