Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has carpeted the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited over the recent invitation extended to him, to tour both Port Harcourt and Warri refineries, describing it as disrespectful.
Reacting to the invitation, through his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, Chief Obasanjo said such an open invitation was disrespectful to his office and person.
The former president said NNPC had not sent any formal invitation to him as at Second of January, 2024.
Chief Obasanjo expressed frustration over the mismanagement of refineries, pointing out that despite significant expenditure since 2007, no results had been achieved.
Recall that the NNPCL had, through its spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, invited the former president for a tour of the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries.
The corporation’s invitation followed an interview on a Cable television station, during which the former president recounted failed efforts to privatise the refineries in the country.
