Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has described an open invitation by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, to tour the newly revived Port Harcourt and Warri Refineries as disrespectful.
The spokesperson to Obasanjo, Kehinde Akinyemi, made this known on Friday.
Charmingpro reports that the NNPCL had invited the ex-president to the revamped facilities after he accused the state-owned oil firm of rejecting Aliko Dangote’s $750 million to manage Port Harcourt and Kaduna refineries.
Obasanjo had faulted NNPCL for having rejected Dangote’s offer despite its inability to manage the plants.
However, reacting to NNPCL’s invite to tour the revived Port Harcourt and Warri Refineries, Obasanjo said the pattern of the invite was a clear disrespect to his office as a former president of Nigeria.
According to him, NNPCL had not deemed it fit to formally invite him for the said tour
