Senator Kafir Marafa, the chairman of the Senate committee on petroleum (Downstream), on Thursday prevailed on the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, from answering a question about his relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari as Petroleum Minister.
Senator Isa Misau (APC-Bauchi) had asked Kachikwu if he had unfettered access to the President, who has come under fire over the recent fuel scarcity.
Misau specifically demanded that Kachikwu state whether he has direct access to the president, or whether his communication are intermediated by a third party as widely suspected.
However, Mr. Marafa who moderated the meeting did not allow Mr. Kachikwu to answer the question, saying it was ‘personal’ and not part of the issue on discussion.
Mr. Kachikwu complied by not making any reference to the issue in his responses.
