The Presidential Support Committee (PSC) on the achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari has clarified that the recent discovery of oil deposits in Bauchi and Gombe states will benefit all Nigerians.
In a press conference Kaduna over the weekend, the Director of Media and Publicity, PSC, Dr Kailani Muhammad said the oil deposits found in these states are not for the states alone but the entire country.
According to the spokesperson, the president needs to be applauded in view of the fact that oil exploration began since in the 1990s when the contract was awarded to Shell and Chevron both failed.
Again, he said in 2005, President Olusegun Obasanjo awarded the oil exploration to the New Nigeria Development Company (NNDC), saying the exploration also failed to yield any positive results until on the 2nd February 2019 when President Buhari broke the jinx.
However, he was quick to add that in spite of the milestone achieved, some selfish politicians have started flying unnecessary permutations to cause disharmony among Nigerians.
“We have said it severally and I will say it yet again; our so-called elites have always been leaning towards heating up the polity in order to achieve selfish ends.
