Buhari’s Emergence As Petroleum Minister Helped Promote Corruption – Says Richards

The Executive Director of Corruption Observatory, Mr. Ivie Richards has condemned in strong terms, the position of President Muhammadu Buhari as Minister for Petroleum Resources, stressing it promotes corruption.

Mr. Richards made this known while speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, in Lagos on Thursday.

He said, “I quarrel seriously and I condemn in its entirety the fact that a sitting President doubles as the Minister for Petroleum. That has helped this rot a great deal and the right things need to be done.

“Again, that is another aberration. In that report, Kachikwu said that he is the Chairman of the board, but he is not the Minister for Petroleum. “Minister is supposed to be the Chairman of the board.

If you watch closely between the lines, you will see the insinuation that the tender board of the NNPC got some approvals from the President."
