Reaction trails Buhari’s appointment of new DPR manager
Nigerians on Twitter have reacted to a trending tweet that President Mohammadu Buhari has appointed a new manager for the department of the ministry of petroleum.
According to the tweet, the president quietly appoints Bashir Ahmad his Assistant on New Media, as the head of the DPR in Lagos State.
A Twitter user Premier @SodiqTade wrote: “I just read Buhari has appointed Bashir Ahmad as manager of lucrative petroleum ministry.
This further shows that SW BMC is only used to do the dirty works while their Northern counterparts enjoy slots from NNPC and the atmosphere of Private Jet. SW APC boys are okay with bole tho”.
@Towolawi Jamiu a “media person” will oversee oil regulations & supervise Shell, NNPC, Mobil, Chevron & other giant oil firms & also draw double salaries when over 50% of Nigeria’s working population are unemployed. Define Nepotism & corruption for me again!
However, the PA to the President has debunked the trending tweet as false, noting that he is not a staff of the Agency.
@Bashir Ahmad wrote; A friend sent me a link to a concocted story from an online news blog that the President has quietly appointed me as a manager of the DPR, a department of Ministry of Petroleum Resources, for those who want to know the truth, the story is 100% FALSE. I am not a staff of the DPR.
