Jonathan and Diezani, the ‘oil goddess’
Report Part 1
We have obtained and will be releasing documents, pictures and video
evidence which portray an ugly, merit-less process with unknown agenda,
by which the Nigerian government is accused of reneging after the
twelfth hour and shutting down the multi-billion naira celebrated
refinery project in Zamfara state for suspect reasons, destroying the
investment and endangering life.
The BSM-NNPC partner refinery project commenced in 2010, promised to
provide thousands of jobs. The project was well under way and had gulped
over a billion euros in foreign investment. This investment was done By
BSM without Government’s patronage, contracts & political
affiliations and this led to its shut down among other reasons best
known to the executive government of Nigeria.
Important to note, it was BSM’s detailed feasibility studies that
confirmed proven reserves of crude oil deposits in Zamfara, Sokoto and
Kebbi States, this was the link that gave Republic of Niger a Refinery.
The worrisome report implicates the president of Nigeria, Goodluck
Jonathan, minister of petroleum resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke,
Zamfara state governor Abdul’Aziz Abubakar Yari and others of trying to
cover up the malicious destruction of multi billion euro investments at
BSM petroleum refinery heliport complex Gusau, Zamfara state, which
created jobs, employment and training opportunities for thousands of
Nigerians under the governor Mahmuda Aliyu Shinkafi led administration, a
governor with a clean record and projects and aspirations for true
development of his state and Nigeria at large.
The BSM refinery project promised to make fuel available to Nigerians
as low as N60/liter which will expose and deprive the cabal. Goodluck
led Federal Government it is believed was never interested in refineries
and refined petroleum products reaching the people at Naira 60 and as
such terminated this contract that was outside his crew of controlled
cabal.
There have been serious allegations of several kidnap and
assassination attempts on the life of Otunba Lateef Lai Ogungbadero,
the chairman Board of directors of BSM to destroy evidence and the quest
for justice.
The total investment in the project had run up to one billion five
hundred million Euros which was supported by Advance Payment Guarantee
Bond issued by a Foreign Consortium in favour of BSM Int’nal Petroleum
Refinery & Petrochemicals Limited and NNPC. This was approved and
duly ratified by Zamfara State Executive Council.
BSM holds all the requisite MOUs to the effect. The Ambassador of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria to Romania also sent confirmation of the
participating companies to the Federal Government of Nigeria; NIPC,
NNPC, IGP, SSS: EFCC, NCAA: FAAN: NSCDC: Ministers of Petroleum
Resources: Aviation: Police Affairs: Niger Delta.
BSM claims it was hounded for refusing to comply with corrupt
advances of the nation’s Leadership. We have documentation and pictorial
evidence of the submission of 200,000 BPD BSM Petroleum Refinery &
Petrochemicals Project to the GMD & Management of the NNPC by
Governor Mahmuda Shinkafi and Management of BSM Consortium.
The BSM consortium which is aggressively seeking to recuperate its
lost investment funds is filing with the Jonathan government to fulfill
the Advance payment Guarantee Bond. The BSM debacle has so far been a
serious embarrassment to the Jonathan administration and is effectively
discouraging foreign investors who depend on stability and reliability.
The official letter is attached below.

Noted and in our further revelations, we recollect that thousands of weapons were found to have been
imported by the current governor of Zamfara, Abdu;’Aziz Abubakar Yari, but after these were seized, he was never investigated for terror links.
The BSM consortium had issued a strong worded communique on 11th Day Of June, 2014:
Communique On The Resolution Of The Board Of Directors And
Management Of BSM Int’nal Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals
Limited On The Demolition Of BSM Petroleum Refinery Heliport Complex,
Gusau Zamfara State, Nigeria.
Which stated:
The
undersigned on behalf of BSM Consortium hereby use this medium to
channel our grievances to the World Leaders, International Business
Community and Friends of Nigeria, to as a matter of urgency unite
against this impious, self serving and politically motivated act of
INJUSTICE.
Consequently,
we advise the Federal Government of Nigeria to save Nigeria the
embarrassment associated with a global outcry from an International
disposition to which the forthcoming World Press Conference Tagged
“UNVEILING THE POTENTIAL CHALLENGES AND RISKS OF INVESTING IN NIGERIA –
THE BSM EXPERIENCE IN ZAMFARA STATE” seeks to depict.
We
enjoin all our Sympathizers in Nigeria and Zamfara State in particular
to remain resolute in condemning the gross act of political impunity and
economic sabotage of our leaders evident in the malicious destruction
of BSM Petroleum Refinery Heliport Complex next to the NNPC Depot Gusau
and BSM Consortium Head Office Complex in Gusau, Zamfara State which has
since deprived staff of numerous training opportunities thereby
rendering them unemployed. Whilst thanking all our Partners across the
globe for their immense support, patience and understanding at these
difficult times.
The
World Press Conference is to admonish the minds of International
corporate organizations and potential investors in Nigeria to be guided
without prejudice by the dilemma of BSM INT’NAL PETROLEUM REFINERY &
PETROCHEMICALS LIMITED – an indigenous company with affiliations to
Global Multinationals which facilitated economically viable initiatives
and Integrated solutions; tackling the deficit issues bedeviling the
Northern region in 2009 under the purposeful leadership of the then
Executive Governor of Zamfara State His Excellency ALHAJI MAHMUDA ALIYU
SHINKAFI (DALLATUN ZAMFARA) who on behalf of Zamfara State Government of
Nigeria executed a Memorandum of Understanding/Agreement. This was duly
ratified by the Zamfara State House of Assembly and Zamfara State
Executive Council. Consequently, this project was launched in a Ground
Breaking Ceremony attended by His Excellency himself.
The
Infrastructural Development and Economic Emancipation Initiative of BSM
Consortium was intercepted and brought to an abrupt end by some selfish
and unscrupulous miscreants who by way of ethnic, religious and
political divides launched various attacks on the Chairman Board of
Directors OTUNBA LATEEF LAI OGUNGBADERO ranging from failed kidnap to
assassination attempts. These dastardly acts were ordered by the
incumbent Executive Governor, in collaboration with Leaders who claim
dominance to the region of the country, deciding who invests in it
regardless of Due Process, good Practice of international standard,
Morals and the provisions of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Constitution.
In
conclusion, we wish to emphasize unequivocally that we are nonpolitical
and operate across regions without prejudice to any association or
institution. Therefore, the proposed World Press Conference is not
intended to jeopardize the concerted efforts of this administration in
encouraging Foreign Direct Investments in Nigeria. Rather, it is
intended to serve as a caveat to investors by showcasing the inherent
danger associated with investments of this nature in a country where the
Government lack the concomitant protection for investors.
It
is our hope that the government will look beyond International road
shows, long speeches, warm handshakes etc. and have a RETHINK in the
forthcoming World Press Conference.
Thank You And God Bless You All!!!
For And On Behalf Of
BSM Int’nal Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals Limited Consortium
