 Peter Obi lies like fish drinking water –Festus Keyamo Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, has accused the 2027 Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, of deliberately fabricating claims regarding a recent airport incident. Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ on Thursday night, July 30, Keyamo alleged that Obi lied about his experience at the airport to score political points. “That man was lying. He lies like a fish drinking water. He lies. He lies for fun,” Keyamo stated. The Minister noted that Obi had publicly complained of facing harassment from airport officials strictly due to his opposition status. Keyamo argued that it was unfair for a political figure to make sweeping accusations against airport staff without providing room for official verification or allowing the ministry to review the facts. “He was the one that complained that he was being harassed at the airport and that because of his opposition statu...

CONGO AUDIT FINDS POLLUTION LINKED TO FRENCH-BRITISH OIL FIRM'S OPERATIONS, MINISTRY SAYS. (PHOTO).


 Congo audit finds pollution linked to French-British oil firm's operations, ministry says


A government audit into the operations of French-British oil company Perenco in Democratic Republic of Congo found it responsible for polluting the environment with potentially harmful effects ‌on the local population, according to preliminary findings shared with Reuters on Wednesday.


The hydrocarbons ministry said it found pollution attributable to oil activities carried ​out by Perenco's onshore and offshore units in the ​Muanda area, along the country's narrow Atlantic coastline.


The ministry ⁠shared the findings in response to an emailed request for ​comment on a Human Rights Watch report published on Monday that ​said Perenco's operations exposed nearby communities to health risks.


The audit found negative impacts on soil and air quality, notably from gas flaring near inhabited areas, ​the ministry said, without giving details of the pollutants or ​their potential effects.


The ministry said groundwater samples are being analysed to determine ‌the ⁠extent of any contamination and assess risks to local communities.


Perenco told Reuters on Tuesday that allegations of air, water and soil pollution were not supported by technical evidence that could be independently ​verified.


The company said ​it was ⁠still awaiting the findings of the government audit and that any definitive conclusions before its publication ​were premature.


The audit was launched in 2024 and ​is ⁠being carried out by an international consultancy supported by a government task force. No date yet has been given for its conclusion.


The ⁠ministry ​said it would seek to establish responsibility ​for any pollution and, where appropriate, seek environmental remediation and penalties under Congolese ​law.
