Ibe Kachikwu
Popular media claims have it that President Muhammadu Buhari is
beaming his anti-corrpution searchlight on his federal ministers and
other senior government officials who are suspected to be
short-changing Nigerians on the All Progressives Congress' publicized
change agenda.
Buhari through his media aide, Femi Adesina yesterday appealed to
Nigerians to disregard online publications insinuating that he is
investigating his cabinet members. This has been described as purposeful
attempts by some people to malign the reputation of certain government
officials without any worthy evidence.
The statement from the presidency debunked the report that the
immediate past Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), who is also Minister of State for
Petroleum, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, is being investigated over crude oil swap
deals and gas liftings during his tenure as GMD of the petroleum
corporation, appealed for decent and civilized comments, particularly
when it has to do with the integrity of those who are serving the
country.
“Terrible and unfounded comments about other people’s integrity are not good. We are not going to spare anybody who soils his hands, but people should please wait till such individuals are indicted,” the President said.
President Buhari reiterated the administration’s commitment to probity, accountability and integrity, promising that transparency remains a watchword, which would never be trifled with.
