Former President of Nigeria, Chief, Olusegun Obasanjo has described the way and manner he was invited by the NNPCL to inspect the Port Harcourt Refinery as disrespectful.
Obasanjo, through his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, stated that the oil company had not sent any formal invitation to him as of Thursday, January 2, 2024.
According to Akinyemi, inviting Obasanjo to the Refinery without a formal invitation is a total disrespect to the office of the former president
“Is that the right way to invite a former president of the country? Who says Baba has even seen the statement or read the news? It is a total disrespect for the office of the former president.
“Ask the NNPCL that as of January 2, have they written to him? Is there any official letter addressed to him, inviting him to the refinery? It is an absolute insult, and the former president cannot dignify such with a response,” he said.
As you may the NNPC had invited the former president to the Refinery after he expressed doubts over its functionality.
