Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has strongly criticized the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) following the company’s recent admission of a substantial debt totaling $6 billion owed to petrol suppliers.

This disclosure, made public on September 1, has intensified the ongoing fuel scarcity crisis, which has now been affecting the country for six weeks.

NNPCL’s Chief Communications Officer, Mr. Olufemi Soneye, confirmed the debt, highlighting the severe financial strain it has imposed on the company’s operations.

Soneye acknowledged that the debt poses a significant challenge to the company’s ability to maintain a steady fuel supply.

Despite these difficulties, Soneye reassured the public that NNPCL remains dedicated to fulfilling its role as the supplier of last resort, as required by the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA).

The company is actively working with government agencies to ensure that petroleum products remain available across the nation.

In response to the situation, Atiku Abubakar expressed his deep concern through a statement released by his media aide, Phrank Shaibu.

He criticized the NNPCL’s handling of the situation, questioning the credibility of the profits that had previously been touted by the company.

Atiku accused the current administration under President Bola Tinubu of leading NNPCL towards a state of disarray, characterizing their actions as a “ruthless dismantling of its assets” and expressing skepticism about the transparency and effectiveness of their management.

President Bola Tinubu has revealed that he almost stepped away from the presidential race but was convinced to stay by Aminu Masari and a few others.

Speaking at a special Iftar at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Tinubu shared how a late-night conversation with a relative made him question his decision to run. His spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, released a statement detailing the moment.

Recalling the incident, Tinubu said a family member visited him around 3:30 a.m., asking for N50,000 to buy food. The relative blamed him for the currency crisis at the time, saying people were struggling to get cash, even a wealthy uncle of theirs couldn’t find N10,000. The man then questioned why Tinubu was still in the race, hinting that he had no chance of winning.

Despite the doubt, Tinubu handed over the money and confidently told him he would succeed. However, the encounter made him briefly consider quitting. He credited Aminu Masari and others for pushing him forward, with Masari reminding him of the support he had and urging him not to look back.

Tinubu acknowledged the tough economic challenges he faced upon taking office and the difficult decisions he had to make, including the removal of fuel subsidies. He revealed that the subsidy removal wasn’t part of his original inauguration speech but was a decision he had to make immediately.
