Dr Collins Osuagwu ,an Oil magnet cum Candidates of Imo state governorship position in 2019 has berated some highly place Imo sons in government for frustrating the appointment of Senator Ifeanyi Ararume, as the chairman of the board of the NNPC Limited.
Dr Osuagwu who stated this on Friday pointed accusing finger at some henchmen in government house Owerri and some leaders in Okigwe zone, noting that the lack of unity seen in Imo was responsible for the setbacks because politicians in the state and other leaders hardly worked together.
Osuagwu said,” this is one of the reasons why it will be very difficult for Igbos to produce the president of Nigeria. Now the new NNPC board chairman is a lady from Anambra State. Will she give Imo people employment or contract”
The Mbano born philanthropist and Germany based Oil magnet called on Imo people to unite and pave the way for progress this year.
Dr Osuagwu who is also the National patron of the Peoples Democratic Party National Youth Movement, described the development as a set back to Imo state not even Ararume as a person, calling on the people to come together and take stock.
According to him,” All the Anambrarians into oil and gas business today will be better and richer for this lost. It is a big shame to Camp Hope if they actually had a hand in what happened.
“A reliable source in presidency revealed to me that those who felt that the appointment , apart from financial gains , may make Ararume closer to the president of Nigeria truncated his chances for their selfish ambitions.
” They joined forces with Emeka offor , Sylva from Bayelsa raised billions to fight Araraume and today Imo youths seeking employment and contract are licking their wounds.”
