The presidency has responded to claims that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited’s (NNPCL) Chief Executive Officer, Bayo Ojulari, was compelled to sign his resignation letter, debunking such allegations and stating that Ojulari was not coerced.
Sunday Dare, a presidential spokesperson, made this clarification in a statement provided on Saturday night.
His explanation follows allegations that Ojulari was coerced into signing his resignation letter by the Department of State Services and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC).
Dare, however, refuted the assertion, pointing out that it is untrue.
He said, “Not true.”
