ADP Chairman Urges President Tinubu to Resign as Petroleum Minister Over Corruption Concerns

The National Chairman of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Sani Yabagi, has urged President Bola Tinubu to step down from his role as Minister of Petroleum, suggesting that his dual position is hindering efforts to address corruption in the oil and gas sector.
In an interview with Africa Independent Television (AIT) on Sunday, Yabagi highlighted that Tinubu’s control over the petroleum ministry could obstruct critical investigations into the sector.
According to Yabagi, the president’s resignation from this ministerial role is necessary to ensure a transparent and thorough probe into the alleged fraudulent activities that have plagued the oil industry for years.
Yabagi expressed concern that the president’s continued role as Petroleum Minister sends a troubling message, implying that he might be protecting corrupt elements within the sector.
He stated, “It doesn’t reflect well on him, as it gives the impression that he is shielding those responsible for the widespread corruption in the oil industry.
We all know that corruption in Nigeria is most rampant in this sector, so Tinubu’s direct involvement in it raises serious concerns.”
The ADP chairman went on to explain that having the president oversee the petroleum ministry creates significant challenges for accountability, as it limits the ability of other government institutions, such as the National Assembly, to hold officials accountable.
“For example, when issues arise, the National Assembly can’t effectively summon anyone because the ultimate authority lies with the president himself.
The Minister of State is powerless in this situation because his direct superior is also the president, who holds ultimate power. This makes it difficult to investigate or interrogate any wrongdoing in the sector.”
Yabagi also pointed out the ongoing crisis in the oil and gas sector, characterized by numerous allegations of corruption and mismanagement, which have contributed to persistent fuel shortages and instability in Nigeria.
“This sector is of paramount importance to Nigeria’s economy. It’s clear that there are fraudulent practices, so why is the president, who acknowledges the existence of these issues, preventing thorough investigations? Why are Nigerians being denied the chance to scrutinize what’s happening in the oil industry?”
He emphasized that, due to the president’s involvement, no one in the petroleum industry has been held legally accountable for any wrongdoings.
“No official in the oil sector has been prosecuted because you can’t take legal action against the president, who holds this dual role. This situation must change if we are to see any real progress in fighting corruption in the sector,” Yabagi concluded.
The call for President Tinubu’s resignation as Petroleum Minister comes at a time when Nigerians are facing significant challenges due to the mismanagement of the oil sector, and many believe that greater transparency and accountability are necessary to address these issues.

Tinubu Says Ending Fuel Subsidies And Fixing Taxes Are Helping Nigeria

Two years into his administration, President Tinubu highlights key achievements in Nigeria’s economy and social sectors. He reminds Nigerians of the tough choices made early on, like removing fuel subsidies and fixing foreign exchange policies, to stop the country from slipping into crisis. These bold moves have started to pay off.
Inflation is easing, staple food prices are dropping, and the oil sector is seeing renewed growth with billions invested. The government has improved revenue collection, narrowed the fiscal deficit, and built up reserves to protect Nigeria from shocks.
Tax reforms are helping small businesses and protecting low-income families by cutting VAT on essentials like food and education. The administration is also supporting new industries through targeted incentives and making trade easier and fairer.
On the social front, health services are expanding with thousands of primary health centers being upgraded and new cancer treatment centers opening. Free and subsidized medical care is reaching more Nigerians, while health insurance coverage grows steadily.
The president also points to progress in education, youth empowerment, and infrastructure development as the foundation for long-term growth. Despite challenges, these efforts show that Nigeria is moving in the right direction, building a stronger economy and better future for all its people.

Tinubu Promises Stronger Security and More Support for Nigerians

Since taking office two years ago, President Tinubu has been clear that improving security and investing in the nation’s people are top priorities. He recognizes that without safety, the economy and daily life cannot thrive. His administration has worked hard to strengthen collaboration among security agencies, increase intelligence operations, and support the welfare of the military and police. According to him, it is thanks to these efforts, some regions once troubled by bandits have seen peace return, allowing farmers to get back to work and roads to become safer for travelers.
Beyond security, the government is focused on building a brighter future through education, healthcare, and youth empowerment. Investments in schools and student loans aim to give more Nigerians access to quality education. Health programs have upgraded thousands of primary health centers, introduced cancer treatment centers, and expanded health insurance coverage.
