The APC chieftain cautioned Nigerians against criticising the president for stepping into the crucial role, adding that “things are getting better in that sector now and if he becomes the head of that sector you will see the change and whatever we are getting is not going to somebody’s pocket again its going to go directly to the use of Nigerians”.
He said he had no problems with Buhari’s decision to head the petroleum sector, noting that the president’s deep knowledge about the sector would benefit the country immensely.
Mixed reactions have trailed President Buhari’s announcement that he will head the petroleum ministry. According to him, this step is being taken as part of efforts to sanitise Nigeria’s oil industry, which is said to be plagued by corruption, massive fraud, and crude oil theft.
But some critics have accused the president of relegating ministerial portfolios to the background in the name of sanitizing the oil sector.
