TRACKING_____The National Leader of Otita Transformation Movement popularly known as Otita Force Worldwide, who is also the CEO of JABI EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION COMPANY LIMITED, Prince Gabriel Jonah says his relationship with the Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Marlin Sylva remains solid and has not gone frosty for any reason as being presumed in several quarters.
Contrary to speculations that he is no longer on friendly terms with the Honourable Minister of State as a result of the unimagined delay of his approval letter from the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, for the OML 33 Igbomotoru Oil Marginal Field his company bidded for, Gabriel Jonah maintains that Chief Sylva is not only his political leader but also his blood relative whom he believes will not throw a spanner in his work for any reason.
According to him, although the delay of the DPR letter for his signature bonus even when his company meets the criteria is enough to trigger anxiety and curiosity, he has never reported any person, not even the Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, to anybody or organisation, as he believes the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and the DPR which is directly under the able supervision of President Muhammadu Buhari is well known for following due process which Jabi Exploration and Production Company Limited followed all through the bidding process of the oil marginal fields, saying he is hopeful they will soon give directive to pay his statutory signature bonus.
While thanking those who through their social media handles appealed to the Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources to use his good office to fast track the release of the approval letter, Gabriel Jonah also enjoins them to remain calm and be prayerful, saying he believes they will smile after the temporary bureaucratic delay that will soon be a thing of the past.
He therefore debunks the malicious insinuations from those who are perhaps afraid of his rising profile that he sponsored a campaign of calumny against Chief Sylva and states categorically that it is not his style to run down his own.
However, Prince Gabriel Jonah strongly frowns at those who poured aspersions on Chief Sylva while making their solidarity posts and maintains that the Honourable Minister of State being an Ijaw man deserves steadfast prayers and all the support he can get to carry out his functions diligently.
He commends President Buhari for the credible and transparent process that characterized the bidding of the 57 oil marginal licences, admitting that the petroleum ministry under his supervision is already recording unprecedented progress.
Gabriel Jonah adds that the sole reason he bidded for the OML 33 marginal licence is to add value to the petroleum industry and give back to the Nigerian society, saying his purpose on earth is to remove as many persons and families from the poverty line as God will help him to do.
