The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has dismissed claims by former Nigerian President, Atiku Abubakar, that the company allegedly sold its Retail Subsidiary to OVH, owned by President Bola Tinubu’s nephew, Wale Tinubu.
NNPCL’s spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, made this clarification on Thursday in response to Atiku’s claim.
Recall that Atiku, in a recent statement through his spokesman, Paul Ibe, lamented “the criminal hijack of the NNPC by corporate cabals around the current President.”
Atiku also claimed that the retention of Mele Kyari as the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Ltd. was compensation for the alleged acquisition of NNPC Retail Ltd. by OVH, in which he asserted that Wale Tinubu held a 49 percent stake.
However, NNPCL debunked all the claims and according to them, contrary to the false alarm raised by Atiku, neither Wale Tinubu nor President Tinubu have any interest in the OVH acquisition.
