Investigate Threats to Ojulari's life, IPYM tasks security agencies

Delta State based organisation, Itsekiri Progressive Youth Movement, IPYM, has called on the Inspector - General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun and other relevant security agencies to investigate the alleged threats to life, raised by the Group Chief Executive Officer, GCEO of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, Engr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari.

The IPYM, in a statement released in Warri, Sunday August 31, noted that the alarm raised by Engr. Ojulari, after some " sponsored youths" staged a protest in Abuja, calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to sack him, should not be treated with levity by security agencies. 

The group in the statement signed by its National Chairman, Comrade Jerry Atiene and General Secretary, Hon. Romeo Ogedegbe, asserted: " We were deeply troubled, when the NNPCL Boss, Engr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari, disclosed that his life and those of the company's management staff were being threatened. " 

Patriotic Nigerians and critical stakeholders, should be worried by Engr. Ojulari's statement that his offence was introducing reforms in the oil and gas sector, in - line with President Bola Tinubu's determination to revive the moribund public refineries in PortHarcourt, Warri and Kaduna. "Security agencies, should swing into action immediately, to unmask those behind the threats and blackmail.." 

Whilst positing that the Ojulari - must - go protest at Abuja, was a classical case of corruption fighting back, IPYM, called on the GCEO of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, not to be deterred in his resolve to make the National oil company profit - oriented and ensure the four public owned refineries across the country, work optimally. 

The group, pleaded with Nigerians, to give the Engr. Ojulari - led management of NNPCL more time to turn around the fortunes of our public refineries toward a progressive trajectory and contribute more meaningfully to our national development.
