Buhari Using NNPC Like Personal ATM? President's Aide Makes Serious Revelations

Femi Adesina, a media aide of President Muhammadu Buhari, has revealed what was responsible for the N287 billion net profit announced by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

Adesina in an article shared on his Facebook post on Thursday, September 2, explained that the massive economic feat came about because his principal has refused to make the corporation his personal Automated Teller Machine (ATM).
