Former Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole has publicly supported the ongoing Senate investigation into the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited’s (NNPCL) audited accounts. He stated the probe is a necessary function of democratic oversight, emphasizing the importance of scrutinizing financial reports. Oshiomhole dismissed suggestions that the investigation could hinder the current administration, asserting his commitment to President Bola Tinubu’s government. He believes asking difficult questions is integral to a functioning democracy. The Senate Committee on Public Accounts initiated the probe to address concerns raised within the NNPCL’s financial records. Oshiomhole’s comments aim to quell any narrative of obstruction and reinforce the legitimacy of the audit process. He maintains the investigation will ultimately strengthen accountability within the national oil company.
