The National Chairman of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Yabagi Yusuf Sani, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu is being used as a cover for ongoing corruption within the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).

Sani, a former presidential candidate, claimed that recent discoveries coming out of the Central Bank of Nigeria were child’s play compared to what was going on in the NNPC, lamenting that no one seems to care.

In an interview on Channels Television, Sani, Energy and Crude oil expert, called on President Tinubu to act as fast as he could, insisting that Nigerians would not continue to fold their hands and watch.

“The running of the Petroleum industry in Nigeria is as bad as it can be. The report you’re talking about reported that in six months we lost 1.5 billion dollars.

“That is a conservative figure that the Obaseki Committee, set up by the NEC came up with…it’s more than that,” he stated.

He further alleged that, “My regret is that I don’t know how they got Mr President to become the shield of the NNPC rot.

“Do you know what you will get when you probe the NNPC? This is a joke ‘what you are getting from the CBN’.

“Somebody should tell Mr President, it is high time we beamed the searchlight on NNPC. We cannot be taken for a ride for so long.”
