"It is needless to point out that under Alh. Kyari's leadership, NNPC has achieved remarkable milestones, including the facilitation of independent power projects, road maintenance, and significant blockage of revenue leakages, resulting in increased revenue for Nigeria.
"These accomplishments demonstrate his exceptional leadership and commitment to Nigeria's progress".

"We believe it is essential to protect the integrity of our national institutions and prevent unwarranted interference in their operations.
"In light of this, we respectfully demand that you Condemn the so called APC Solidarity Forum's unwarranted attacks on Alh. Mele Kyari and the NNPC.
"Investigate the motivations behind these calls for resignation and take necessary measures to prevent further interference in the operations of the NNPC".
