TIPEDI Flays Malicious Attacks Against Sylva, Wabote

Transparency In Petroleum Exploration and Development Initiative TIPEDI has taken critics of the Minister of State Petroleum, Chief Timipre Sylva and Executive Secretary NCDMB, Engr Simbi Kesiye Wabote over what it Thursday claimed as moves to undermine their productivity.

The group in a statement issued by Derek Igho, Director of field operations as such urged all such critics to steer clear and allow the duo to focus on what they claimed as the good work they’re doing for the Country.

“However, we in TIPEDI can say with all amount of confidence that the Executive Secretary, NCDMB, Engr. Simbi Wabote who seem to be their main target now, is a man of impeccable character and high moral standing.

“A technocrat, who is well known within the oil and gas industry for his operational philosophy of transparency, accountability and zero tolerance for wastes.

“From our investigations, it has become clear that the entire campaign of calumny against Engr. Simbi Wabote is being orchestrated by forces that are no longer comfortable with his many achievements as Executive Secretary of the Local Content Board.

Noting what it claimed as the efforts by a United States journalist to undermine Wabote, TIPEDI said:

“But then any right thinking person, will rather commend Engr. Wabote for resorting to legal means to seek redress for the unwarranted, frivolous and libelous allegations that were made against him who thought that because he was hiding in the United States, the long arm of the law would not catch up with him.“
