Nigerian famous seer, Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has advised President Bola Tinubu to sack the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Heineken Lokpobiri.
Primate Ayodele also urged the Federal Government led by Tinubu to review the activities of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
The popular seer warned that if care is not taken that petrol may be sold for N1,500 per litre in 2025. Primate Ayodele disclosed this on Friday in a statement issued by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho.
He said; “There is already a problem in our petroleum sector. Dangote has tried his best but there are forces frustrating his efforts.”
“Even if the FG repairs all these refineries, there are saboteurs that will work against the success. There is a cartel working for NNPC and the one NNPC is working for.”
“In a couple of months, some of our refineries will shut down again because people are against the success. This government needs directives to know what to do and this is why this government will not get it right.”
“The Minister of Petroleum doesn’t know what he is doing; the GMD of NNPC doesn’t know what he is doing. If these people don’t take charge, petroleum will become N1,500/litre in 2025.”
“Dangote should be commended for his efforts at building such a gigantic refinery. It’s unfortunate that some people in government came from nowhere to discredit Dangote’s refinery. These are things the government and those who stole Nigeria’s money couldn’t do. Even if Dangote stole Nigeria’s money, he has utilized it very well.”
“The government must do the right thing by reviewing NNPC activities and the Minister, Heineken Lokpobiri, who knows nothing.”
“He is one of the ministers that should be removed or transferred out of the sector with immediate effect, otherwise, Nigeria will buy petrol for N1,500 and they are going to import adulterated petroleum because of the Minister and NNPC’s negligence.”
