Ovie Ben wrote on the EFCC’s Facebook Page: ‘’So we have such money from a small boy like NNPC Group MD, imagine what we could get from people like Govs T. A Orji, Akpabio, Elechi, etc. We don't need to borrow from IMF and other foreign sources.’’
On his part, Moshood Abdulwahab wrote: ‘’IF the GMD of NNPC could hide such an amount of money, what amount would the minister of petroleum hide? EFCC investigate him properly to get others, I believe that this is a deal among some cabals.’’
