Kachikwu named among 100 most influential Africans in 2017

The Niger Delta Indigenous Movement For Radical Change (NDIMRC) has cleared  the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr Ibe Emmanuel Kachikwu of alleged extravagant lifestyle.

The group insisted that the Minister never spent N182 million on Chattered Flight to China as it also dismissed the allegation that the Minister appointed two Special Advisers for his wives.

An online platform, quoting a source who does not want to be named, described the Petroleum Minister as “extravagant, lavish and too flamboyant for  Buhari’s anti- corruption Government”.

The President of the group, Nelly Emma; Secretary, John Sailor and Public Relations Officer (PRO), Stanley Mukoro, in a statement said it was not true that the Minister recently chattered Flight costing N182 million to China  at the expense of the State.

According to the statement, “Our attention has been drawn to the recent allegations  in an online Platform against the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr Ibe Emmanuel Kachikwu and to say that these are familiar lies disgruntled Stakeholders have been heaping on the Minister. Our findings have shown that the Minister never spent N182 Million on Chattered Flight to China. We know that this baseless accusation is coming from the same  frustrated Stakeholders who have been working against the hard-working Minister.

“We want to let these faceless groups and individuals  who are at it  again   to know that their information is not correct as he never embarked on a  trip to China on a Chattered Flight costing N182 Million at a time when Nigerians are complaining of hardship. He is not insensitive to the plight of Nigerians. To show he is prudent, he has  never used Private Jet since he came on board  and  we know he will never do that”.

The statement further reads, “We have repeatedly said it that those still  being hurt by the reforms of the Minister in the Oil and Gas Industry are doing everything to give him a bad name, hence they came out  again now and accused him of Chattering Flight to China   at the expense of the State, this allegation is laughable, baseless, mischievous and a pure lie against an innocent man.

“Dr Kachikwu is not a man of wastage and has not tried to abuse his position as a Minister. The Dr Kachikwu that we know is a prudent person just like the President  and patriotic citizen unlike his accusers and their sponsors.”

The group stated that; “It is also not true that the Minister approved Special Advisers to his wives. Those behind these recent accusations are petty, devilish  and wicked. We have done our investigations as usual and discovered that the accusations are coming from the same people who have been working night and day to see that the Minister is shown the way out by the President. But they will continue to fail in their evil mission against the Minister who means well for this administration and Nigerians”.

“The Minister has zero tolerance for corruption and he is in the forefront of the anti-corruption of President Buhari. His accusers should give him a breathing space as he is out on a patriotic mission”.

According to the group; The success of the numerous achievements of the Minister  is giving his accusers who have been feeding fat on Oil Subsidy sleepless nights and doing everything to pull down a God sent man in order to have their way, but it is our prayer that by the grace of God, they will never succeed because Dr Kachikwu is on a divine mission”.

It also wrote;”As a credible oil monitoring group, we are not going to accept the campaign of hate against the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources who is pained about the suffering of Nigerians and working hard with the President to give Nigerians a better deal and we wish to state here that enough is enough to these baseless accusations and blackmail of the Minister”.
