El-Rufai Responds To SERAP Over Threat To Sue FG For Discovering Illegal Oil Pipeline

Nasir El-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna State, has criticized the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project for suing the federal government time and time again with no discernible result.

It was confirmed that the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited uncovered an illegal 4km pipeline from Forcados terminal to a loading port which had operated undetected for nine years.

SERAP announced on Sunday that it would take the Buhari administration to court over the discovery of an unauthorized oil pipeline in Delta State.

“We’re suing the Buhari administration over the discovery of illegal oil pipelines, to compel it to name those responsible for the plundering of the country’s oil wealth, bring them to justice, and recover the proceeds of crime,” SERAP tweeted.

Responding to their tweet on Monday, the former FCT minister said, “PMB should have given you guys the first-in-history national honor of GCBBFR – Grand Clowns and Body-Bodies of the Federal Republic!! Your thoughtless words and ineffective actions have earned the recognition!!”
