Sanusi Lamido Openly Calls For Disbandment Of NNPC

The former Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II, has also made an open call for the total disbandment of the newly revitallised Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).

Muhammad Sanusi II, who had been a guest speaker at the 7th Kaduna Investment Summit which had been held at the Murtala Muhammed Square on Saturday had also noted that the company should have been much better than it is, but unfortunately, it has been used as a money pit instead of a cash cow.

It can also be recalled that the  Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai, had few days ago, called for the sale of the nation’s refinery in view of its poor and below-par performance.

Speaking in the same vein, the 14th Emir of Kano had also noted that the four refineries which are more or less in comatose and apparently not satisfying the yearnings of the Nigerians should be unbundled and disbanded and he further advised states of the need to find ways to free themselves from the effects of leakages and unorthodox policies at the Federal level.

In another report, Muhammad Sanusi, has openly charged Nigerians to curb the menace of selling their votes as the 2023 general elections draw closer. He also charged them to ensure sanctity and secrecy of the ballots.

Sanusi had also expressed some serious worries that some of the Nigerian voters are in the habit of displaying their thumb-printed ballot papers as a piece of evidence to trade their votes to most of the corrupt politicians.

Sanusi spoke virtually during the 4th-anniversary lecture of Penpushing Media held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

Speaking on the annual lecture themed, ‘Social Media Regulation: Insecurity and Elections Accountability in Nigeria,’ Sanusi said the recent governorship elections held in Osun and some States came with some improvements, saying, however, that vote buying had been on the increase.
