Presidential Caution: How Tinubu Handled Ahmed’s Resignation Differently From Komalafe.

Published

on

President Bola Tinubu reportedly managed the resignation of Farouk Ahmed as Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) with particular sensitivity, aiming to avoid tensions with his northern political supporters.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Unlike the exit of Gbenga Komalafe, who left his role as CEO of the Nigeria Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), Ahmed’s departure was handled with care due to his status as a scion of the Sokoto Caliphate. Sources told Nivo News that instead of confronting Ahmed directly, President Tinubu delegated the task to an aide, identified as Muri, to request his resignation.

Following these changes, the Nigerian Senate confirmed Saidu Aliyu Mohammed as the new NMDPRA CEO and Oritsemeyiwa Amanorisewo Eyesan as the new NUPRC CEO, after screenings and recommendations by the Joint Committees on Petroleum (Upstream, Downstream, and Gas).

While Ahmed’s resignation was influenced by political considerations to maintain harmony in the North, Komalafe’s removal reportedly related to ethnic balancing within the regulatory system. A source revealed that Tinubu had once advised Komalafe to resist interference from businessman Aliko Dangote, highlighting Dangote’s perceived manipulative influence. Ahmed had previously faced corruption allegations connected to Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
