When Power Meets Privilege: Controversy Trails the Rise of NNPC Gas Czar Lekan Ogunleye
Among many of Abraham Lincoln’s popular saying is that “If you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” This saying suggests power and affluence reveals a person’s true nature rather than changing it.
The saying might rightly describe one of NNPC limited eggheads, Lekan Ogunleye, who is the Executive Vice President, Gas, Power & New Energy.
It’s a matter of stating the obvious saying that the former Deputy Managing Director of Nigeria LNG Limited is a brilliant chap. He’s been equipped with significant industry experience in various aspects of the gas value chain, he was made the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Gas Aggregation Company Nigeria Limited (GACN),a firm set up by Federal Government of Nigeria to implement the Nigerian Gas Master Plan and manage domestic supply of gas.
But with all of these achievements, many alleged that a thorn in the flesh that lives with Mr Ogunleye is his fondness for the other gender. Sources close to him alleged that he invests millions in satisfying his cravings to invite them from around the world in different sizes and shapes on regular basis.
Information gathered has it that like many of his class, he has a permanent suite in a luxurious hotel on Lagos Island where he entertains them, it was alleged that his arrangements even provides luxurious treatment for them even when he’s not in town. A recent case of such was when he travelled to UAE during last year December with his family, sources close to him alleged that while he was away, ladies invited from Indonesia and Rwanda were receiving royal treatment in this permanent suite which cost over half a million Naira per night.
The sources also alleged that he’s known to relish his fetish practices with two ladies at the a time, and to watch them play with themselves before joining in the fun.
While his personal life may not be that important, how he was able to sustain such an expensive lifestyle, was scrutinize and it was alleged that he regularly receives kickbacks from NNPC vendors and contractors, especially the foreign partners who have been awarded contracts worth millions of dollars through his assistance.
Some of his close allies alleged that power that his privileged office brought was responsible for his insatiable desires for the opposite sex a situation that led to the collapse of his first marriage before he remarried a few years ago.
In other to establish the true state of things, a query was sent to him especially about the allegation of financial irregularities and the abuse of power and privileges for personal enrichment, the query was left unanswered after more than two weeks even when receipt was confirmed.
