Mr Peter Obi the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has expressed worry over the inability of the Federal Government to publicly name the “highly placed” Nigerians responsible for oil theft and sponsorship of terrorism in the country.
Obi made the comment in response to the claim by the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, Mele Kyari, on Tuesday that high placed Nigerians, including religious, community leaders and government officials, were fully involved in crude oil theft.
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 involved in the economic sabotage.
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?”
