✔ Alleges Wale Tinubu’s Oando now owns 49% of NNPC retail
✔ Says Bamidele’s NNPC probe committee won’t be fair
TRIBUNE
Former vice president Atiku Abubakar has alleged that Nigeria is rapidly transforming into “a government of Tinubu, by Tinubu, and for Tinubu.”
In a statement by his media adviser, Paul Ibe on Wednesday, he said that the future of Nigerians has been effectively mortgaged to the president, his family, and associates.
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election expressed the belief that even after Tinubu leaves office, it will be nearly impossible to break these shackles.
Atiku compared Tinubu’s integration of his business interests into Lagos’s public enterprises to his efforts at the federal level.
“Just as Alpha Beta, Primero, and others act as Tinubu’s proxies in Lagos, managing critical sectors and generating revenue for him and his family, he has begun to replicate this at the federal level,” Atiku said.
He expressed astonishment at the operations of the NNPC and how the government-owned oil company had put its retail arm under the control of OVH, a company in which Oando, led by Wale Tinubu, owns 49%.
Atiku regretted that his intention to privatize the NNPC and increase its transparency has been overshadowed by what he describes as the criminal hijack of the NNPC by corporate cabals around the current president.
