As the newly appointed Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mr. Ojulari is the target of a cowardly whispering campaign of calumny, targeted harassment, and vile propaganda that the Center for Convention on Democratic Integrity (CCDI) has strongly condemned.
It is now clear that some disgruntled elements, many of whom have long profited from the systemic decay in the oil and gas industry, are extremely uneasy about Mr. Ojulari’s audacious pledge to sanitize the NNPCL, according to a statement released Monday by its President in Lagos, Comrade Olufemi Aduwo.
Desperate to sabotage the ongoing changes, these disloyal forces have turned to deceptive techniques, disinformation, and poisonous insinuations in an effort to undermine public trust and foment division within the Presidency.

Parts of the statement read as follows: “Let it be stated unequivocally: Mr. Ojulari did not rise to this office through favoritism or intrigue, but rather through demonstrated competence, moral clarity, and an unwavering record of service.”
His initial efforts have already hinted at a return to operational transparency, fiscal restraint, and the recovery of national resources from long-standing cartels and oil thieves.
We know that these adversaries of the country, who now fear the loss of their illegal rights and pipelines, are trying to trap security forces, deceive political players, and contaminate public areas. In addition to attacking a guy, they are also targeting Nigeria’s future energy sovereignty.
We demand that the National Security Advisor, His Excellency President Bola Tinubu, and all other patriotic institutions maintain their resolve. Nigeria succeeds when Mr. Ojulari succeeds. To turn on him would be to turn on the reform and national survival mandate. Shaboteurs posing as patriots will not be allowed to hold Nigeria hostage.
