Bayelsa APC Writes PMB Over Appointments In NNPC

Leaders of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State have sent a protest letter to President Muhammadu Buhari over alleged irregularities and lopsidedness in recent promotion exercise carried out by the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

According to the APC leaders, though the exercise was supposed to be based on performance qualification and other in-house parameters, the exercise conducted by the NNPC was unfair, against the rules and excluded the Bayelsa indigenes from the twenty slots allocated to the South-south region out of a hundred and nine position in the corporation.

The aggrieved Bayelsa APC members, in the protest letter sent to the President and signed by its spokesman, Hon. Fortune Panebi, stated that while condemning the recent exercise, “the Party called for a recall of the exercise and asked for a thorough investigation into the alleged manipulation of the exercise that was described as a fraud and deliberate attempt against Bayelsans,”
