Tinubu Handled Sacking of Ex-NMDPRA Boss Farouk Ahmed Carefully to Avoid Northern Backlash – Sources Reveal
President Bola Tinubu reportedly managed the removal of former NMDPRA CEO Farouk Ahmed with caution to avoid offending Nigeria’s northern political power base, sources have revealed. Ahmed, a scion of the Sokoto Caliphate, was said to have been asked to resign through a presidential aide rather than confronted directly. His exit came amid corruption allegations by billionaire Aliko Dangote, alongside the removal of NUPRC boss Gbenga Komolafe. New regulatory chiefs have since been confirmed by the Senate as investigations and political calculations continue to trail the shake-up in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
