Senator Shehu Sani, representing Kaduna Central District in the red chamber of the National Assembly has warned the Presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar about his proposal to selling off 90 percent of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), saying that it is a dangerous proposal.
Senator Sani, who reacted in a tweet today, Saturday, to Atiku’s statement in an interview during the week that he will sell off 90 percent of the corporation, if he is elected as President in 2019,. said: “auctioning the country has not helped in the past and will not help in the future.”
“Selling 90 percent of the NNPC as a campaign promise is being brutally frank and honest. But its a condemnable proposal and a dangerous intention.”
Atiku, who is Nigeria’s former Vice-President, was quoted to have said that the NNPC is supposed to have become more profitable by now, which is why his government will prefer to retain only 10 percent.
