Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A group, Niger Delta Activists for Renewed Hope (NDARH), has threatened a showdown over the prolonged non-functionality of the Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna refineries.<\/p>\n

The group is also demanding the immediate sack of the Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL), Mallam Mele Kyari within 72 hours.<\/p>\n

This stance was made public in a press statement released Thursday morning by Comrade Jack Dickson and Barrister Kingsley Idono, President and Secretary, respectively.<\/p>\n

In the statement, NDARH criticized Kyari for the prolonged non-functionality of the refineries despite substantial government investments intended for their rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cKyari has become exceedingly powerful since the Petroleum Investment Bill was enacted, and he now believes he\u2019s untouchable\u2014even by the President,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe in Niger Delta Activists for Renewed Hope will not keep quiet and allow an individual sabotage the agenda of Mr. President. We know how much we suffered to deliver this government in our region and Port Harcourt and Warri refineries were part of the promises we made to our people.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother election cycle is coming in 2027, we don\u2019t know what to tell the people to win their votes again. That\u2019s why we must all rise up to fight this ineptitude of Mele Kyari,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

The group condemned Kyari\u2019s failure to address the non-functioning refineries, despite prior assurances and significant funding.<\/p>\n

They demanded he step down to allow someone else to revive the refineries and ease the burden on Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe in the Niger Delta cannot stay silent while one individual sabotages the President\u2019s agenda,\u201d NDARH added, noting its commitment to hold Kyari accountable for the unmet promises of refinery functionality.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the coalition led other civil society groups in shutting down the National Assembly complex in Abuja as part of the \u201cKyari-Must-Go\u201d campaign.<\/p>\n

The protestors demanded Kyari\u2019s immediate resignation or removal by President Bola Tinubu, who also serves as the Minister of Petroleum Resources.<\/p>\n
