The former director general of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Osita Okechukwu, has urged President Bola Tinubu to adopt the theory of class suicide in the oil sector to ensure optimal performance.
The Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) stated that the time had come for the President to whip all stakeholders involved in the oil sector for him to achieve his governance goals.
Okechukwu stated this on Sunday while reacting to a statement from the spokesman of Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Olufemi Soneye.
Soneye, last Saturday, in Abuja, at an interactive session with National Assembly Correspondents stated that Nigeria can achieve production of 3 million crude oil barrels per day with the cooperation of all stakeholders.
“Three million barrels oil production per day is achievable in Nigeria if all the stakeholders work in synergy for that purpose from the security agencies both government and private owned, to oil companies and host communities.
“With the expected synergy from all the relevant stakeholders in the war against oil theft and pipeline vandalism, the enabling environment would be in place for optimal oil production to the volume of 2.5 to 3 million bpd,” he said.
In reaction, Okechukwu explained that the revelation NNPC spokesman should wake the President to act. He noted that income from 3 million barrels of crude oil per day would address the 133 million multidimensional poverty challenge facing the country.
“As a foundation member of the APC, when I recall with nostalgia that we promised change to Nigerians; one is compelled to appeal to Mr. President as our leader to as a matter of urgent national importance, adopt Amilcar Cabral’s ageless maxim – class suicide – and whip all concerned in line to actaulise the three million bpd,” he said.
He added, “This will lift 133 million Nigerians out of multidimensional poverty, restore hope in our democracy and indeed Renew Nigerians hope.”
He continued, “If our armed forces cannot guide our oil field professionally; which democracy said Mr President cannot order for modern gadgets and expertise to turn around the oil industry and bail us out? That is why one recommends for class suicide, albeit stepping on the toes of Oil Mafia.”
