The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has said that Nigerians no longer want to hear about crude oil thefts, but about what the Government is doing to end it.
Gbajabiamila, who described oil thieves as treasonous citizens who should face the full extent of the law, stated this while addressing the joint session of the National Assembly for the presentation of the 2023 budget estimates yesterday, in Abuja.
The Speaker said that the position of the House was that their actions constituted treason against the country, for which they and their enablers must be held accountable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
According to him, Nigerians no longer wanted to hear about crude oil theft, adding that the question had become what “are we doing about it?”
