THE Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) has faulted the composition of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) board.
It also demanded the immediate removal of the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Madueke, as chairman of the board.
The Conference argued that removal of the minister as the chairman of the NNPC board has been necessitated by the recent revelation of financial malfeasance within the organisation bordering on illegal grant of loans.
Secretary-General of the CNPP, Willy Ezugwu, in a statement, said the composition of the NNPC board suggested that the government was yet to appreciate the fears of the people on the activities of the Corporation.
The statement reads: “From all indications, it appears the Petroleum Minister is fronting for some interests in the Presidency.
“If there are no vested interests, the Minister should have been shown the way out of the ministry. With all these revelations from the probes and the audit report, there is no justification for keeping the Minister in office.’’
The CNPP called on President Good luck Jonathan to do the needful by putting the national interest above any other parochial one and disband the board and reconstitute it with Nigerians of impeccable character.
