BP has brought the greatest oil spill that has ever happened in the US. Though we could credit everything to accident, this could have been foreseen and appropriate action should have been laid as a contingent solution.

BP CEO, Tony Hayward has been the very person that has absorbed all the fierce victims of the spill and has been handed with such a great to solve the issue as soon as possible. US congressmen were not happy with all his answers when we faced them on an energy and commerce hearing last month. They marked him as “stonewalling” questions and of “kicking the can [of responsibility] down the road”.

Hayward wants to have his life back and has been surely been exhausted with all of these happening to him. For the victims and for the majority of people seeing the situation, he should step down from his position because his presence in the company would be a major hindrance to its full recovery.

A news report from BBC said that Mr. Hayward has been negotiating the terms of his exit, with a formal announcement likely within 24 hours. The company has been expected to replace Hayward with an American in the person of Robert Dudley. He has been in charge in the day-to-day operations in the Gulf of Mexico last month. He came from Mississippi and for BP, he has a “deep appreciation and affinity for the Gulf Coast”.

BP has not yet released an official statement regarding this issue as of the moment. Updates would be posted in here as soon as possible.
