“NNPC remove this man (referring to Mele Kyari). If Tinubu does not have anything to do with this man, he should remove him. NNPC is rotten. Something is wrong in NNPC. NNPC needs cleansing and reform."
He continued:
“Petrol will be N1,200. That is the beginning of this government. When I said you would buy petrol for N800, you didn’t believe me. Gradually, you will believe me.
“With this man (Kyari), petrol will go to N1,200. And this would be killing. God bless you as you take note of this.”
