Presidency Unsettled Over Leak Of Kachikwu’s Memo.

Lagos – The dust raised by Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu’s recently leaked letter to President Muhammadu Buhari is yet to settle down at the presidency.
According to a presidency source, the letter emerged at a time the president was contending with “strange behaviours of some of his ministers”.INDEPENDENT findings revealed that key government officials are leaving no stone unturned in unraveling those behind the leakage of sensitive documents to the public owing to the threat it has on national security.
Kachikwu’s letter slamming Maikanti Baru, Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), leaked out and was reported by the media last week.
In the letter, Kachikwu detailed a number of official breaches, particularly insubordination and corruption, committed by Baru.
A presidency source revealed that Buhari and his cabinet are not happy that Kachikwu’s disturbing letter found its way into the public domain.
In Kachikwu’s letter, addressed to the president and entitled ‘Re: Matters of Insubordination and Lack of Adherence to Due Process Perpetuated by the GMD NNPC, Dr. Baru’, he alleged that the oil corporation awarded $25 billion contract without following due process.
The minister insinuated that his office was being demeaned as neither himself nor the board of NNPC were privy to the $25 billion contract awards.
