Kachikwu’s Alleged Memo: AnotherĀ  Grand Design To Rubbish Buhari, Kyari

Fresh facts have emerged thatĀ  the circulation of the non-existent July 2017 memo, predicting the likely shortage of PMS by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Dr. Ibe Kackiwu was a grand design by him and his cronies to discredit and embarrass President Muhammadu Buhari and his chief of staff Mr. Abbah Kyari.

“There was no such memo let alone it been suppressed by so-called Aso Rock cabal.” The industry source said adding further that “Those of us who are familiar with the workings of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources are aware that since his removal as the GMD of the NNPC for inefficiency and lack of adherence to due processĀ  from multiple fronts, KachikwuĀ  has not hidden his disdain for the Government of President Buhari, underĀ  which he currently serves as a junior Minister”.

The source who spoke to our correspondent, in the condition of anonimity said “It is therefore not surprising that at every opportunity, he resorts to campaign of calumny and blackmail against the government and those that are saddled with responsibility of managing the oil and gas industry. These have been his trade mark”.

Following wideĀ  circulation of the said memo online, and realising the implication and for fear ofĀ  boomeranging effect, Kachikwu through the ministry’s spokesman has distanced himself from the said memo.

ā€œOur attention has been drawn to a message making the rounds on social media of a purported memo by the Honorable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu to the President on the fuel crisis. The message and itā€™s content is false,ā€ Idang Alibi, Director Press Ministry of Petroleum Resources said in a statement last Sunday. While urging Nigerians to disregard the memo.

One source who preferred to speak on condition of anonymity, told our correspondent that the minister’s retraction is weak and belated.

ā€œThis was the same tactics they employedĀ  when heĀ  came up with the issueĀ  of non-existentĀ $25Ā billion contracts. He and those he represent, are desperate toĀ  bring Buhariā€™s government down for selfish ends. This is very sad and Nigerians must not allow people who have vested interests to rubbish the good work the President has initiated in NNPC through Dr. Baru,” the source said.

“With the current reforms going on in the NNPC, the Federal Government is beginning to reap the benefits of a productive policy. NNPC is making profits in some of its subsidiaries unlike in the past. We know that this is not going down well with people who are used to the old ways of doing business”.

” The President had said that business in NNPC and its subsidiaries will no longer be as usual.Those who are no longer profiteeringĀ  are desperate and wants to frustrate these reforms by all means necessary. But I can assure you that Dr. Baru and his team will notĀ  be deterred or intimidated ,ā€ the source told our correspondent.
