Reacting to the development via a post on X on Wednesday, Fayose asserted that sacking Kyari is the smartest move Tinubu has ever made. Speaking further, he urged the president to also reciprocate the same measures in other systems also as corrupt as the NNPCl. Fayose said, “Removal of the NNPCL CEO, Mele Kyari, is a welcome development. It is the smartest move ever by President Tinubu. “It is hoped that this will bring a better lease of life to the NNPCL in particular and Nigerians in general. “This same courage to wield the big stick should also be extended to other systems with system so rotten as the NNPCL.”
Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose has commended President Bola Tinubu for removing Mele Kyari as the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
