Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has been chided over his comments on the petroleum refinery in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that Obasanjo in a recent interview with TheCable, emphasised his belief that the nation’s refineries would never function efficiently as long as they remained under government ownership.
Responding to the statement by Obasanjo, President Bola Tinubu, through his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Tope Ajayi, said the former president is not an engineer, therefore he shouldn’t make such comments.
He said, “Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, with due respect to him, is not an engineer. He’s not the engineer working at the refineries. So, the engineers and the NNPC gave the president a report and they have said that it will work by December this year.
“We still have like four months to go. I will say that with all due respect to the former president, who is an elder statesman and our father, that what he said is his personal opinion and view. I will rather rely on the judgment of the engineers who are working at the refinery. So, I think we should wait until December.”
