Buhari Using NNPC Like Personal ATM? President's Aide Makes Serious Revelations

  • A presidential media aide, Femi Adesina, has claimed that the president's commitment to stamp out corruption in Nigeria is paying off nationally
  • Adesina noted that President Buhari is one Nigerian leader who has refused to enrich himself through the NNPC

Femi Adesina, a media aide of President Muhammadu Buhari, has revealed what was responsible for the N287 billion net profit announced by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

Adesina in an article shared on his Facebook post on Thursday, September 2, explained that the massive economic feat came about because his principal has refused to make the corporation his personal Automated Teller Machine (ATM).
