G-7 Nations Are Sponsors of Oil Theft in Nigeria says Balarabe Musa

Nigeria - Former governor of old Kaduna state, Balarabe Musa, has blamed the G-7 Nations for the unabated oil thefts spanning over three decades in the country, and said he was worried over the invitation extended to the President-Elect by these nations, BusinessDay reports.

The G-7 was formed in 1975 and initially comprised 6 nations – France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.S. and U.K. – with Canada invited to join the group in 1976.

“You are aware that these same G-7 Nations have recently invited the president-elect for a meeting. What do you think they want to discourse with him? They are the ones buying Nigeria’s stolen oil. They are obviously going to discourse their interest with him. Illegal bunkering is made possible in Nigeria by these nations”.

He said further that the mafias involved in the illegal oil bunkering were ‘sacred cows’ no past Nigerian leader has been able to touch, and that even General Buhari could not do anything about them when he was military head of state.

“Is Buhari courageous enough to put an end to this illegality? Was he able to touch these people when he was a military ruler? Were there not certain people he could not touch? Some of the people in the illegal business are they not around him today? Buhari had a record of giving selected justice as a military head of state. Nigerians better hope he will not repeat the same thing as a civilian president”, he said.

He also blamed the current fuel crises on the oil marketers and tasked the incoming All Progressive Congress (APC) government to establish 14 refineries within the shortest possible time in order to stop importation of refined petroleum product in the country.
