A socio-religious group, the Christian Youth Forum of Nigeria, CYFN, has called for the immediate removal of the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, Mele Kyari.
The group said the call followed the incessant fuel crisis, resulting in frequent queues at filling stations.
Arogidigba Global Journal observed on Monday that the queue has again resurfaced at some fuel stations in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Some fuel stations were not dispensing due to a lack of the product.
The group, in a statement by its national president, Rev. Phrank Ochiga, said Kyari’s removal is overdue, citing some controversial issues that emanated from the oil sector in the last few months.
They described Kyari’s leadership as a “disaster.”
According to them, Kyari’s tenure has been shrouded in controversies, including allegations of “subsidy scams, importation of substandard petroleum products, and mismanagement of the Port Harcourt Refinery.
“Kyari’s continued stay in office is a slap in the face of Nigerians, and we will not stand for it. He has failed, and he must go.
“We demand that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sack Kyari with immediate effect to restore the petroleum sector. Anything less is unacceptable.
“We call on all Nigerians to join us in demanding Kyari’s resignation or sacking. Enough is enough. We will no longer tolerate incompetence, corruption, and mismanagement,” the statement added.
