Sunday Dare, a spokesperson for the presidency, provided this clarification in a brief statement exclusively to furucinovel on Saturday evening.
This clarification follows reports suggesting that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Department of State Services allegedly pressured Ojulari into signing his resignation letter. However, Dare refuted this assertion, emphasizing that it is unfounded.
“Not true,” he informed furucinove.
This statement came after NNPCL raised concerns on June 27, 2025, regarding attempts to undermine the new leadership of the state-owned oil company.
On April 2, 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu appointed Ojulari as GCEO of NNPCL following the dismissal of Mele Kyari.
