Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has asked the Nigerian government to explain why Oando Plc, owned by President Bola Tinubu’s nephew, got accelerated approval to buy the onshore assets of AGIP and ENI while other transactions such as the Shell/Renaissance deal and the Mobil/Seplat continue to suffer delays.
Atiku also accused the government of giving Oando undue preferential treatment in the oil and gas sector to the detriment of more competent investors. The former Vice President in a release signed by his Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, slammed Tinubu 's administration for implementing a sham subsidy regime.
“Ideally, democracy ought to be the government of the people, for the people, and by the people. But democracy in Nigeria has become the government of Tinubu, by Tinubu, and for Tinubu and his family members.” Atiku added, “In July 2023, the House of Representatives, following the adoption of a motion moved by Miriam Onuoha directed NNPC Ltd to suspend the acquisition of OVH assets pending an investigation by its committee.
