OPC, Ex-militants Set To Lose Contracts says president GMB

An investigation by Vanguard recently, indicates that there are plans to dismiss the security groups in charge of oil pipelines and waterways.

The man behind the process was a Director in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign
Organisation. He is in charge of liaising with experts in the sector and other people to work out the template for the new surveillance policy which will see the government revert back to the use of security agencies for the pipelines and waterways security. agencies form.

The incoming administration reportedly has plans to adequately fund the various security agencies thereby stopping the contract with some former Niger-Delta militants or groups like the Odua People’s Congress (OPC) in the South-west region. The contracts to awarded to these groups
reportedly runs into billions.

During his meeting with Rivers State chieftains of the aAPC, Buhari had on Wednesday, said his government won’t tolerate“an army within the army or a police within the police”in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, a member of the Board of Trustees of APC, Chief Sam Nkire said that Buhari would have to do away with the contracts if they were not properly awarded.

According to Nkire, the outgoing government of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, had a lot of underhand deals with some groups.

“Well, once a government has been swept away, it ceases to exist. The new government takes charge and whatever it decides to do, becomes the law. If the government or presidency of Buhari thinks those contracts were not properly given out or were not given to qualified people, of course, the government will
cancel those contracts.

“And from what I know of the incoming president, he will not waste a day to cancel those contracts because these are the reasons why Nigerians rejected the PDP government. Because, they did things that should not be done. They did things without recourse to the law.

“They did things with impunity and knowing Buhari as a man who abhors impunity; a man we can say is one of the incorruptible persons, I will be surprised if he does not revoke contracts that were wrongly awarded if he sees them”,Nkire said.

Buhari recently met with Chadian President, Idriss Deby, who was in the country to discuss the joint fight againstterrorist group, Boko Haram.
