*Between Respected Primate Ayodele, Embattled Mele Kyari and The NNPCL Dogs*

Ordinarily, the names of highly respected prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele and that of the embattled NNPCL boss, Mele Kyari should never appear together because the former is a tested and trusted man of God while the latter is a public servant who has been enmeshed in several mind-boggling scandals but for the greater good of Nigeria, both names are appearing together for the first time.

Primate Ayodele had in a video that went viral yesterday advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to sack Mele Kyari as NNPCL boss if he doesn’t want to experience another massive protest because according to him, Mele Kyari is one of those who are creating problems for the country.

These were his words

“One of the major important things Tinubu should do if he wants to see the prayers of Nigerians. He should sack the GMD of the NNPC. If it is possible, he should be sacked before the end of this month’’

This statement was indeed in the interest of Nigerians and not necessarily about Mele Kyari as an individual. With the recent crisis Nigeria has experienced in terms of scarcity of petroleum products and the several issues between regulators, marketers, stakeholders in the oil and gas sector, it’s obvious Mele Kyari’s administration has done more harm than good to the federal republic of Nigeria therefore, the prophet recommending Kyari’s sack is in every way the right thing.

Sadly, Mele Kyari and his NNPC ‘dogs’ took Primate Ayodele’s message personally, launching an unnecessary and unsuccessful media attack against the personality of a prophet who doesn’t even look back at his critics. Once he shares a prophetic message, He doesn’t care about who ‘barks’ afterwards.

As a matter of fact, it was surprising to see that these NNPCL dogs couldn’t come up with intelligent and well structured materials to discredit Primate Ayodele, these lazy set of people, who would claim to be in their right senses, lifted an article shared by Femi Adesina, a former aide of Ex-President Muhammadu Buhari in 2021 when the prophet warned his principal about the unity of Nigeria.

Of course, these dogs must have been paid to share these failed content exported from Femi Adesina’s failed attempt to smear Primate Ayodele’s name and it’s not surprising because that’s what NNPCL is about; anything that would make it look like something good is going on in the company meanwhile, there is absolutely nothing to see, NNPCL is literally an empty barrel under Mele Kyari’s administration.

Some of the things mentioned in the content have been thrashed out in 2021 when Femi Adesina mentioned it but for the purpose of schooling these unintelligent dogs, it’s important to once again address them again. They mentioned that Primate Ayodele said Goodluck Jonathan would win a second term, PDP would shock APC in Lagos, Boko Haram bombing south west, Kaduna’s election becoming difficult for El Rufai to win, to mention a few.

Primate Ayodele never said Goodluck Jonathan would win election in 2015, I wonder where these dogs were when Vanguard Newspapers published a detailed story on what Primate Ayodele said about Goodluck Jonathan’s fate in his second term bid. The man of God started talking about it since 2013 that Goodluck Jonathan’s victory is dicey and that He will not win.

(https://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/my-warnings-to-the-nation-have-come-to-pass-primate-ayodele/)

On PDP Shocking Lagos in 2015, Where were these dogs when PDP nearly took Lagos from APC if not for the intervention of some leaders of the party in a crooked way. PDP won seats in the house of assembly which was unusual and till date, every political analyst still maintains that PDP was robbed off that election, was that not shocking enough that PDP shook APC’s stronghold?

On the Kaduna Election that Nasir El Rufai won, Primate Ayodele never said PDP would win, He categorically said it will be difficult for PDP to retain the state and this is on record in different publications in the media. I wonder how these ‘dogs’ reason!.

On the issue of Boko Haram bombing Lagos, the prophecy was shared in 2021 and if a man of God has made some revelations or warnings, the fact that it is yet to come to pass doesn’t mean it won’t and why should they even pray for such to come to pass? Lagos has become better over the years in terms of security and as we know, prophecies are not death judgment, they are warnings that can be averted if prayers and the needful are done so what are these dogs saying?

These unintelligent dogs said Primate Ayodele foretold that Atiku would become the next president of Nigeria before the 2023 presidential election. I am beginning to think these people are only doing these things intentionally, I don’t want to believe the English language is their problem or they simply don’t have the common sense needed for comprehension. They removed a part of Primate Ayodele’s prophecy and still even do it well, but to push their agenda, they quoted a statement that totally negates their conclusion. Primate Ayodele categorically said in the prophecy that Atiku is God’s choice but it is the vote of the people that would still determine. He further mentioned that he isn’t saying Atiku would win the election but God has chosen him. However, the people’s vote is the ultimate decider. He then mentioned that Nigeria will face hardship if Atiku doesn’t emerge. He stated that whoever wins would just add to the yoke of Nigerians as written in 1king 12 vs 14. Are these NNPCL dogs blind?

These were his words

‘’ ’Among these three candidates, Atiku has been given an assignment from God to fix the nation within four years. If God gives Atiku victory in this election, he is to use only four years for this special assignment. If he wins and refuses to do the will of God for the people, He will see the wrath of God. He will not complete his term because God’s anger will be placed on him. His assignment is to form an all-inclusive government, take care of security within six months, restructuring before his term ends, reduce petroleum price, fix the education sector, revive the economy. He must not start selling Nigeria’s property to his friends and if he does, he will see God’s anger. If God helps him to get there and he neglects all these policies, God’s wrath will be kindled against him. I am not saying Atiku will win the election, it’s only the people’s vote that can determine that but I am only saying what God sent me to say to Nigerians; Atiku has an assignment placed into his hands by God to fix the nation within four years. It’s your choice to vote for him or not but if he doesn’t emerge, the person that wins will only add to the yoke of Nigerians as it is written in 1king 12vs14. The people will suffer more than they have ever suffered in the past administrations.’’

Election: God has special assignment for Atiku, he disobeys, he fails – Primate Ayodele

They also stated that Primate Ayodele’s prophecy failed when Ifeanyi Ubah lost the last Anambra election to Charles Soludo. The same unintelligent mistake was made by these guys because according to their senses, Primate Ayodele saying victory surrounded Ubah meant he would win. I don’t understand how people can be so unwise!

These were Primate Ayodele’s words:

‘’YPP candidate, Ifeanyi Ubah is not ready to take victory, victory is surrounding him but he isn’t ready for it. They will ease him out technically, he is getting some things wrong except he does the needful. He has what it takes but he isn’t managing it, he is playing around the victory and people are not seeing him as well prepared for the election victory. The victory is close to him but he doesn’t know how to claim it.’’

If you must discredit anyone, you should do it with facts, you don’t have to lie to discredit someone who has done excellently well for Nigeria and other nations across the globe than you would ever attempt to do. Mele Kyari is a bone in the neck of Nigeria, what can he say he has achieved since becoming the GMD of NNPCL? How has his administration positively affected the country’s oil sector? There is nothing good about his administration and we even wonder why Tinubu still maintains an incompetent Mele Kyari.

Years ago, even though we used to have scarcity, Nigerians were always informed about the issue and the reason behind it but nowadays, Nigerians wake up to find queues at filling stations and for months, NNPCL would not deem it fit to resolve or inform Nigerians about what went wrong.

Instead of working on becoming better, creating a better oil and gas space for Nigerians, NNPCL prefers to squander money on propaganda rather than doing the job they should do.

I rest my case!

Dangote Hails Tinubu on Impact of Crude for Naira Swap Deal

 

 

…As Dangote Refinery partners MRS to sell PMS at N935 per litre nationwide at its retail outlets

 

 

Sahara Weekly Unveils That The Foremost entrepreneur and President of the Dangote Industries Limited, Aliko Dangote has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the positive impact of the naira for crude swap deal on the Nigerian economy, which has led to reduction in prices of petroleum products in the country.

 

Dangote Hails Tinubu on Impact of Crude for Naira Swap Deal

 

To provide succour to Nigerians, Dangote recently reduced the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N970 to N899.50 at its Refinery loading gantry and provided generous credit terms to marketers.

 

 

“To ensure that this price reduction gets to the end consumer, we have signed a partnership with MRS to sell petrol from its retail outlets nationwide at N935 per litre” he added. This price has already commenced in Lagos, and it will be offered nationwide from Monday.

 

 

In his statement, he called on other oil marketers such as the NNPC Retail and all other marketers, “to work with us to ensure that Nigerians enjoy high-quality petrol at discounted prices.”

 

 

According to him, “The Dangote Refinery is for the benefit of Nigeria and Nigerians. We will therefore continue to work with various value chain players to deliver high quality petrol at cheaper prices. Our aim is for all Nigerians to have ready access to high quality petroleum products that are good for their vehicles, good for their health, and good for their pockets.

 

 

Recall that in September, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) under the leadership of Mr. President approved the sale of crude to local refineries in Naira and corresponding purchase of petroleum products in Naira. The move, which commenced on October 1, led to reduced pressure on the dollar and ensured the stability of the local currency.

 

 

Dangote thanked Nigerians for their unwavering support and the government for creating an enabling environment for the domestic refining industry.

NNPC Debunks Shutdown Rumors, Confirms Port Harcourt Refinery Fully Operational

 

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has dismissed reports circulating in certain media outlets claiming that the Old Port Harcourt Refinery, which was re-streamed two months ago, has been shut down.

In a statement released by Olufemi O. Soneye, the Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPC Ltd, the company clarified that the refinery is fully operational. The statement noted that the facility’s operational status was recently verified by former Group Managing Directors of NNPC during a site inspection.

“Preparation for the day’s loading operation is currently ongoing,” the statement confirmed, emphasizing that allegations of the refinery’s shutdown are baseless and intended to create panic or artificial scarcity in the fuel market.

NNPC Ltd urged members of the public to disregard such misleading reports, labeling them as the work of those seeking to exploit Nigerians.

The Old Port Harcourt Refinery has been in operation since its re-streaming, and the company remains committed to ensuring stability in the supply of petroleum products across the country.
