FCT, Abuja - Abdul-Aziz Na'ibi Abubakar, a prominent member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has asked Mele Kyari, group chief executive officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, to resign.
Abubakar made this call via his verified X (formerly known as Twitter) handle recently.

Legit.ng reports that before his appointment as the 19th group managing director of the NNPC, Kyari was the group general manager of the crude oil marketing division of the NNPC.
Added to his NNPP role, on May 13, 2018, the Borno-born geologist became the Nigerian national representative at the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
Amid Nigeria's struggle with fuel shortages, critics have criticised Kyari as the ineffective leader of the nation’s oil industry. Abubakar seems to concur.
He wrote:
“Now over to you, Mele Kyari. If you like don't resign, wait until they embarrass you!”Recall Legit.ng reported that President Bola Tinubu approved the appointment of new directors-general (DG) of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and the Department of State Services (DSS).

In the same vein, Yusuf Magaji Bichi, on Monday, August 26, stepped down as the DG of the DSS. Consequently, he was replaced by Adeola Oluwatosin Ajayi.
