OSHIOMHOLE BLOWS HOT, STANDS HIS GROUND OVER NNPC “HOUSE OF THIEVES” COMMENT

Former Edo State Governor and Senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has doubled down on his controversial description of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) as a “house of thieves,” insisting that his remarks were based on concerns over transparency and accountability in Nigeria’s oil sector. The comments have sparked fresh debate over corruption, governance, fuel subsidy management, and the need for reforms within the nation’s petroleum industry. As reactions continue to trail his statement, many Nigerians are questioning whether Oshiomhole’s criticism reflects broader public concerns about the management of the country’s most strategic economic institution.
