UNBELIEVABLE ! ! See The Shocking And Unexpected Thing President Tinubu Did In Paris That Left Everyone Speechless
President Bola Tinubu’ s recent decision to restore the ownership of OPL 245 to European oil giants Eni and Shell marks the likely conclusion of a protracted corruption inquiry into the contentious deepwater oilfield. However, insiders reveal that the president’ s motivations were driven more by personal wealth accumulation than the welfare of the Nigerian people.
In a series of transactions orchestrated by Tinubu’ s nephew, Wale Tinubu, and facilitated by the controversial ally Gilbert Chagoury, Eni transferred its onshore assets to Oando in late 2023. This maneuver, combined with the withdrawal of legal actions against Shell and Eni from international tribunals, paved the way for the European companies to regain control of OPL 245 under the old contract from the Goodluck Jonathan era.
The transfer, completed in September 2023, saw Oando doubling its oil reserves to nearly one billion barrels, with the deal’ s value estimated at around $500 million. Notably, the newfound success for Oando coincided with President Bola Tinubu’ s tenure, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest and the president’ s commitment to public welfare.
The deal was sealed during a trip to London and Paris by Nigerian officials, including state petroleum minister Heineken Lokpobiri, NUPRC head Gbenga Komolafe, Attorney- General Lateef Fagbemi, and anti- graft chief Ola Olukoyede. Lokpobiri reportedly pressured the team to finalize the agreement, emphasizing the president’ s personal interest in the deal.
