The Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency, Mustapha Foyo Gbande, engaged in a heated verbal exchange with former Petroleum Commission CEO Egbert Faibille on live radio.
This confrontation stemmed from allegations made by Gbande, who claimed that Faibille was illegally in possession of state vehicles and engaged in illegal staff recruitment, among other things.
During the February 18, 2025 edition of the Ekosiisen programme on Asempa FM, Gbande strongly asserted that two official state vehicles-a salon car and a V8-were parked at Egbert Faibille's official residence.
This claim was made in light of directives that mandate all former state appointees return any state property in their possession upon leaving office. "Call Egbert Faibille of the Petroleum Commission and ask him if the salon car in his house doesn't belong to the Petroleum Commission.
