Former Governor of Edo State and Senator representing Edo North, Adams Oshiomhole, has welcomed the resignation of Engr. Farouk Ahmed and Mr. Gbenga Komolafe from Nigeria’s petroleum regulatory agencies, describing their ouster as vital for the nation’s economic survival.
Oshiomhole disclosed this during the screening of President Bola Tinubu’s nominees for the positions of Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).
Expressing his views, he said, “He needed to be hanged.”
Speaking further, he said, “In my previous statement, I said if you don’t hang him, he will change Nigeria because anyone who is opposed to jobs being created in Nigeria, who prefers importation, importing poverty here and exporting our prosperity abroad, does not deserve to live.
“I want to see how his case will be. I am still going to be drunk tonight because of Farouk’s removal.”
Farouk Ahmed, the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), resigned about 48 hours ago amid controversy surrounding his tenure.
